Among topics relating to trial practice, cross-examination is certainly one of the most popular, perhaps because it engenders so much angst and uncertainty when first attempted by novice trial lawyers. For novice and experienced lawyers alike, Texas lawyer Howard Nations has a very comprehensive and useful overview of cross-examination on his website, aptly titled "Cross-Examination."
Please take a look at the article, in which Mr. Nations considers such topics as "the goals of cross-examination," "maintaining control," and "style of examination." There are also special sections on "learned treatises as cross-examination tools," and "cross-examining the defendant's medical expert."
Good stuff!
