Cross-Examination Training for Forensic Experts

Competence gets you to court.
Confidence gets you through it.

Knowing your discipline isn't enough when a skilled attorney challenges every word. Practice against AI that knows PCAST, NAS, and the literature—then get feedback that makes your testimony unshakeable.

Cross-Examination in Progress
Level 2: Well-Prepared Counsel

You stated this was a "match." Are you aware that the 2016 PCAST report found insufficient evidence for the claimed zero error rates in latent fingerprint analysis?

I'm familiar with the PCAST report. To clarify: I observed sufficient corresponding ridge detail to reach my conclusion. I can speak to the specific features I relied upon and the studies that validate this methodology...

Cross-examination exposes what training doesn't cover

You know your discipline. But can you defend it when every word is challenged?

"Are you familiar with the PCAST report?"

Defense attorneys cite scientific literature challenging forensic methods. How you respond shapes the jury's perception of your entire testimony.

"What is your error rate?"

Overstating certainty or fumbling statistics can devastate credibility. The difference between "zero" and "very low" matters enormously.

"Isn't this just your opinion?"

Distinguishing observation from conclusion—what you saw versus what you inferred—is critical and often poorly articulated.
