NDAA's

2026 Cross- Examination Course
May 27-29, 2026 Orlando, FL

Strategic Cross-Examination for Stronger Trials 

Cross-examination is one of the most decisive moments in trial. When it lacks clarity, control, or strategic focus, even strong cases can lose momentum. Today’s prosecutors face increasingly sophisticated defense tactics, complex expert testimony, and heightened courtroom scrutiny. Precision matters. 

This dynamic, multi-day program combines expert-led instruction with hands-on workshops, allowing participants to immediately apply techniques in a structured, skills-focused environment. Through small-group exercises and live practice, attendees receive direct feedback from experienced prosecutors and refine their approach in real time. Whether you are building foundational confidence or refining advanced litigation skills, this course provides practical frameworks you can implement in your very next trial.

Key Topics Include:

  • Analytical Advocacy and case theory development
  • Approach Point Cross-Examination
  • Cross-Examination of the Defense Expert
  • Maintaining control of difficult or evasive witnesses
  • Strategic question sequencing and witness management
  • Enrollment is intentionally limited to preserve the interactive learning environment.

Cost

Members: $855
