In this episode . . .

Dr. Cramer points out the “nice guy” strategy during cross-examination stating, “Some of them will try to lull the expert into a sense of ‘I am just a nice person. I am on your side.'" She continues “. . . you cannot bait me . . . [I] just answer the question, give my opinion.... so that the discussion is not derailed by a super sweet or a snarky cross-examiner.”

Additional topics include cross-examiners and the importance of winning and getting experience on both sides. She offers up this advice, “Make sure that you work for the defense and plaintiff. This makes you a better-rounded witness, and it helps you to understand both sides of [cases] you are in.”
