Bowman and Brooke’s Post

This week in arbitration: two initial procedural conferences in separate matters, setting hearings for June and September. Clients are happy. End is in sight. This week in Superior Court: new client in absolute disbelief when I say the company’s slam dunk* summary judgment motion won’t be scheduled until 2025 (and only if they’re very lucky). Meanwhile, longstanding client chuckles when he asks if a matter will go to trial this decade. This is followed by silence as it dawns on both of us that it may not. There can be a lot of pros to the court system for litigants (it’s public, clearer appeal routes, easier to compel third parties, etc), but all those pros are being crushed by the weight of delay. * Tricked you. There is no such thing as a slam dunk in litigation. It’s a myth. Like Bigfoot or a restful vacation with children. I’ll talk about the 80/20 rule in my next post. #litigation #arbitration #law

What is Cross examination and why is it important? In my opinion, Cross-examination plays a pivotal role in any type of litigation. In the realm of law, especially in litigation, cross-examination is a process by which attorneys rigorously scrutinize and question witnesses with the intent to challange their credibility. This rigorous questioning not only tests the veracity of the witness’ statement but also aims to unearth inconsistencies, biases and/or hidden facts. It is through skillful and tactful cross-examination that attorneys can sway a case in their favor, ultimately influencing the court's perception of the evidence presented. In corporate law, while negotiations, contracts, and compliance are essential, the intensity and strategic importance of cross-examination in the court makes it an indispensable element in the legal profession. #litigation #crossexamination #witness #law
