Cross Examination Day - overview

The Cross-Examination Day is a follow-on course to the Courtroom Skills Training. 

This intensive cross-examination training course helps you as an expert witness to refine and enhance your performance, and to gain mastery of your presentation. You’ll be cross-examined on one of your completed reports, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. The second cross-examination is recorded.

This course can count towards the Cardiff University Bond Solon Expert Witness Certificate.  We would advise that if you are taking one of the Expert Witness Certificates that you attend the Cross Examination Day at least 1 month after the Courtroom Skills Training. 

If you’re undertaking The Cardiff University Bond Solon Expert Witness Certificate, then this recording will be submitted for assessment. If not, you can keep your DVD.

The Digital Hub

When you book a place on this public course, you will be given free access to the Bond Solon Digital Hub, our new resource for expert witnesses. Find out more.
