Cross-Examination: Science and Techniques has long been considered the gold standard for trial lawyers. This newly revised 4th Edition brings Roger Dodd and Larry Pozner’s proven methods into a single, definitive volume. Written in a practical, conversational style, it provides a complete system for planning and executing powerful cross-examinations — showing attorneys how to control testimony, teach their case theory, and win over the jury.

With over 800 pages of instruction, examples, and strategy, this new edition covers every aspect of cross-examination — from initial case theory and preparation to the last question at trial. Its reorganized structure, user-friendly index, and expanded coverage make it the most comprehensive treatment of cross-examination ever published.

What does it mean to build a legal career while also caring for children, parents, partners, siblings, friends, and oneself? In A Labour of Love: Caregiving, Resilience and the Practice of Law, more than 15 lawyers write candidly about the realities of balancing professional ambition with the demands of caregiving, challenging long-standing assumptions about what commitment to the law is supposed to look like.

Edited by Neha Chugh and Anne-Marie McElroy, this collection of personal essays span a wide range of experiences, including infertility, postpartum depression, disability, adoptive parenting, fatherhood, co-parenting, eldercare, grief, and end-of-life care. Together, they offer an unvarnished account of how caregiving shapes legal practice, career paths, and ideas of success within the profession.
