Cross-examination: Watch & Learn how to do it WELL
Event Information
Description
We’ve invited the same counsel who had participated in the mock examinations-in-chief in September to develop and execute a successful cross-examination strategy crafted to meet the demands created by four different kinds of witnesses. Learn how to take and keep control of a witness. Hear from our returning panel of judges who will share with us their insights on what was effective about the cross-examinations presented while offering best practice tips from the Bench.
The examiners will include Jennifer Penman (defence counsel), other defence counsel to be confirmed, Jill Cameron (crown counsel) and Carolyn Otter (crown counsel).
The judges panel will include Justice Donna Hacket (OCJ), Justice Diane Oleskiw (OCJ), Justice Gillian Roberts (SCJ), Justice Katherine Corrick (SCJ) and Justice Heather McArthur (SCJ).

Organizer of Cross-examination: Watch & Learn how to do it WELL
Women Educating in Law and Life was created by women from both the Crown Attorney’s Office and the Defence bar who saw the need to foster discussion, mentorship and collegiality amongst women in the criminal bar. Our objective is to create a forum for female members of the criminal bar to share practice tips, gain insight into how to improve and expand advocacy skills and, most importantly, build supportive relationships and collegiality across the courtroom.
