OPTIONAL: Ten Rules of Cross-Examination by Irving Younger

Prof. Nina Chernoff

Irving Younger was a New York City native known for his evidence expertise, wit, and . . . energy. His 10 Commandments of Cross-Examination are famous and this is a 10 minute video of him describing these. The video quality isn't great because it's an old video, but it's still enjoyable. 

Watch this video if you're interested in being a trial lawyer, or if you'd just like more information about the process of cross-examination.
