Comprehending the role of the expert in the case. Establish the role of the expert witness and at the same time, maintain similar character and behavior during the examination. Preparation. It is vital to a prosperous cross-examination. It helps anticipate questions that are ahead and thinking through the responses towards surviving the cross-examination. Not underestimating the cross-examiner. Do not make assumptions that the examiner is busy to review your activity individually. Instead, consider that the cross-examiner has the skill similar to that of the proficient witness and knowledge of the critical information. Self-control. Do not take things personally. In the process also remain courteous but then firm.
