Most expert crosses fail on foundation, not on facts. This is designation to verdict: the declaration, the deposition that separates an opinion from its basis, the admissibility fight, and the cross that survives a redirect.
Five sessions, self-paced, on demand. Taught by David Sugden, a trial lawyer at Call & Jensen in Newport Beach.
30-day money-back guarantee, either way.
An expert opinion is only as good as the material underneath it, and the work of taking one apart happens long before the cross. It happens in the designation, in the declaration, and in the deposition where you make the witness say the opinion word for word and then walk the basis away from it.
The academy is built on the California framework — sections 801 and 802, Sargon, Sanchez, section 721(b) — with Frye and Daubert where federal practice diverges. It covers your own expert on direct as carefully as it covers theirs on cross.
Watch them in any order you like, but they are built to be taken in this one.
