The topics he covered included the purpose of cross-examination, questioning styles, structuring cross-examination, facts v assumptions, witnesses of fact and expert witnesses, admissibility of expert witness evidence, potential dangers of putting questions in cross-examination and how to avoid them and the tactics of cross-examination.
There were many questions from delegates who that includes senior judges, members of the lower courts and leading counsel.
