Witness Preparation and Examination for DUI Proceedings: Leading Lawyers on Developing Questioning Strategies, Gathering Eyewitness Testimony, and Building a Successful Defense (Inside the Minds)

Witness Preparation and Examination for DUI Proceedings is an authoritative, insider's perspective on the best practices for gathering witness testimony and questioning the parties involved in a DUI case. Featuring partners and shareholders from defense firms across the country, these experts guide the reader through the process of analyzing both eyewitness descriptions and documented evidence to assemble a successful DUI defense strategy. The authors examine the lines of questioning defense attorneys should consider for both prosecution and defense witnesses in order to uncover weaknesses in the prosecution's case and support their argument on behalf of their client. From reviewing the results of roadside tests and preparing a client to testify to presenting evidence to the jury, these experts illustrate the defense attorney's strategizing process for transferring factual documentation into a story on the stand. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to navigating this dense area of law.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
