To litigate in the COVID-19 era you need more than the traditional cross-examination techniques you’ve always relied on. COVID-19 has dramatically changed the face of litigation...kick-starting a technology shift in the practice of law that has already taken place in almost every other area of society. Zoom, Webex, and other remote platforms are now a regular part of the litigation and pre-litigation process and will remain so, long after the COVID crisis ends. Judges in courts at every level across the U.S., Canada, and the UK have embraced these platforms for remote depositions, mediations, and non-jury trials, saying that remote is so efficient and saves so much in costs that it will be permanent.
Nationally recognized trial lawyer and the “King of Cross" Roger Dodd, who is also an internationally recognized author, speaker, and attorney coach, will help you transform your traditional cross-examination skills into new remote cross-examination skills. Even the most seasoned trial lawyer can benefit from some of the dozens and dozens of techniques and tips Dodd will cover in this webinar. Don't miss this opportunity to adapt your skills to conquer this new reality.

Cross By Camera Testimonials
“Another triumph for Roger Dodd. Life-changing for young [and old] Criminal lawyers.”
“In “Cross by Camera” (™ © pending 2020) Roger Dodd proves once again he knows how to present a case to the fact finder. Trial lawyers must develop the skills to adapt to the COVID-19 world in which we now live and practice. Roger’s latest video program addresses the remote landscape that is now a part of our professional lives. Federal and state courts are conducting hearings via Zoom, Web-Ex, and other virtual methods. Depositions are now being taken remotely. Consequently, we have to utilize the technology to our advantage. We must no longer focus only on the witness’ testimony. We have to keep the attention of the finder of fact. We have a new issue to address, video fatigue. These are but a few of the new skills trial lawyers need to develop that Roger addresses in this program. Roger and his Trial Skills team, in this video series, have developed an incredible teaching tool to make us better at our craft. From tools to control of the witness, to basic hardware needs, to controlling how you look on camera, Roger brings his years of trial experience to your monitor in a way that is helpful to the beginner, intermediate, and veteran attorney. This series is for the trial lawyer who wants to develop the necessary skills to preserve and present the evidence and testimony to prove their client’s case.”
“I owe it to you [Roger Dodd] that my cross-examination confidence is going through the roof and I am really moving the needle for my clients! You’re right Sir. We just have to be a step ahead of the other side regarding Zoom! I share my screen and put up a photo of my client before the incident. I asked the witness what she sees. She starts off by saying, “Now that’s the Mildred I remember...” Then she goes on about all of Mildred’s great qualities before getting knocked over - hard working, in church 3 times a week at 88 years old, always a kind word, salt of the earth, tended her garden every day, etc. I left the photo up. OC begins his cross and leaves the photo up! Now he only has three or four questions and they’re all bad, i.e. open ended, random, lacking any real goal picture, etc. But just as important, he is asking these bad questions while my wonderful client’s photo is up! I doubt the jury will hear a word he says and even if they do, they won’t care! It’s the perfect juxtaposition: photo of my good-natured, salt of the earth client vs. the bad questions of the callous corporate defendant! You can’t make this stuff up! Firing on all cylinders sir!”
“You are doing such a service to the practicing bar by providing these insights!”
“First, and most important is that I LOVED the seminar. It was GREAT!!! I am definitely interested in seeing more from Mr. Dodd. I realize there are many, many more attorneys that practice in the civil arena, but there are many criminal defense attorneys that would love seminars/webinars specific to criminal law and he is simply fascinating.”
“In 1997 I was a newly called criminal lawyer in Toronto Canada. … After 23 years I still enjoy listening to Roger Dodd.”
“It was a good experience. I learned a lot. Well worth the money. I was very uncomfortable with zoom before. I am much more comfortable now.”
“This was one of the most interesting and watchable CLEs I’ve seen. Multiple about the issues that could arise on Zoom.”
