ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

 

Keynote Address

Pozner on Cross Title

 

THE CHAPTER METHOD

Larry Pozner

 

Larry Pozner

Larry Pozner has long been recognized as America’s authority on modern cross-examination.  He literally “wrote the book” on cross-examination.  Pozner’s book, Cross-Examination: Science and Techniques (Lexis 3rd edition 2018, Pozner and Dodd) revolutionized our profession’s view of the purposes and methods of modern cross.

Larry is a former Colorado public defender and Past President of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. He has long been recognized in Best Lawyers in America in Criminal Law—both white collar and non-white collar and in civil “Bet the Company” litigation.  Pozner was trial counsel for many years for the Denver Broncos franchise and won the trial that preserved Pat Bowlen’s ownership of the Broncos. He used these techniques to win and collect a $111 million judgment against a national bank.
