Review title: If you are only going to read one book on Cross...
Product review: Easy to read and to understand, Davies divides his subject in some 67 different principles. The principles' themes range from the proper way to structure a question, to understanding perception and memory in testimony. Davies' bibliography is extensive, which shows that he not only draws from his own experience, but also from the experience of many other experts in litigation and cross examination. I read this book for the first time some eight years ago, and I am reading it again, for it is one of the best books, if not the best book, on the subject. Francis Wellman's Art of Cross Examination is another good buy, though not as good. Much more expensive, but also excellent, and with a different emphasis, is Roger Dodd's and Larry Pozner's book on cross examination. Davies' book is a tremendous contribution to the Bar.
