This classic essay summarizes what every lawyer should know about "destructive cross-examination," the art of discrediting a witness. Here, Younger first published his Nine Modes of Impeachment (a simple formulation of all the rules pertaining to this type of examination, for use at a second's notice) and his Ten Commandments of Cross-Examination. He also describes the three qualities of a successful cross-examiner, the one critical trial preparation technique, and the three touchstones of a good jury argument.
