Ben Rubinowitz – Expert Cross-Examination Masterclass

"We're walking them out on a tightrope. We keep walking them out, and finally, when we push, they fall into the canyon of doom. There is no escape." Ben Rubinowitz shares his masterful approach to cross-examination with host Dan Ambrose. Drawing from over three decades of trial experience, Ben reveals the strategies that make him one of New York's most formidable trial lawyers. Learn how proper witness setup creates powerful impeachment opportunities, why "voice of reason" questions establish credibility with jurors, and how to handle conditional answers from evasive witnesses. Ben will teach these techniques at TLU Beach (June 4-7), along with specialized workshops on voir dire for wrongful death cases and lectures on the bridge between cross-examination and closing arguments.
