Lawmann’s Decoding the Art of Cross-Examination: With Cross References to New Criminal Laws – 1st Edition 2025 provides a contemporary, practice-focused exploration of one of the most decisive tools in litigation—cross-examination of witnesses.

The book systematically explains the object, scope, and preparation of cross-examination, covering techniques for questioning different categories of witnesses, testing credibility, exposing contradictions, and eliciting admissions. Special emphasis is placed on aligning traditional principles of evidence and trial advocacy with the new criminal law framework, making the book especially relevant for present-day criminal trials.

Written in a clear, structured, and practitioner-friendly style, the book integrates illustrative examples, practical courtroom strategies, and legal cross-references, enabling readers to translate theory into effective courtroom performance. It is a valuable resource for both young advocates developing trial skills and experienced practitioners refining their advocacy.
