ABOUT THE SESSION
Trial remains an important part of the Indian legal system, but trial and error also determines the fate of a good case. The art of cross-examination, its inherent risks—too much or too little—and what defines a Goldilocks cross-examination will be explained by seasoned trial lawyers with war stories and anecdotes. The session will include a thought-provoking mock-trial segment, designed to be exciting and interesting for young and seasoned lawyers alike.
New techniques for trial procedures adopted after the pandemic consequent to online witness examination will also be considered in this session. Automated transcription and the dangers of a “recording in progress” will also be touched upon. Panelists will explore cross border approaches and solutions for commonly faced trial and cross-examination issues and risks.
