High Impact Cross for Sex Cases Using The Chapter Method© - Advanced Edition
Completely Brand-New Version Updated for 2026! All-New Content and Materials!
Larry Pozner’s High Impact Cross-Examination in Sexual Assault Cases Using The Chapter Method - Advanced Edition is a fully updated and expanded 4-hour program built to improve real courtroom results for defense lawyers using new scientific, behavioral, and cross-examination tools specifically designed for modern sex-crime litigation. Built around The Chapter Method and grounded in contemporary neuroscience, the program teaches attorneys how to analyze behavior, pre-sell cross in opening, sequence facts to reduce juror cognitive load, and use prosecution witnesses to your advantage so jurors understand and adopt the defense theory. These tools translate directly into more powerful crosses, clearer themes, and stronger outcomes in cases where consent and credibility determine the verdict.
Throughout the training, Pozner walks viewers through realistic examples, full chapter demonstrations, and actual cross-examination question sets. Lawyers see exactly how to structure leading questions, how to build chapter sequences that jurors can follow, and how to handle difficult witnesses in adult consent cases. The examples turn theory into courtroom-ready technique—showing not just why the method works, but how to deploy it under pressure.
This advanced edition is redesigned to give defense lawyers new strategic advantages. The expanded section on the brain’s mentalizing network helps attorneys anticipate how jurors interpret human behavior and teaches them how to frame the defendant’s perception of consent through the complainant’s actions, not just words. Detailed instruction on sexual signaling and implicit communication provides a clear method for proving reasonable belief in consent through text messages, coded language, invitations, and nonverbal cues. Pozner’s new behavioral-science modules offer practical ways to shape juror decision-making, manage bias, and reduce cognitive load—making the defense theory easier for jurors to accept and retain.
Attorneys also receive strengthened tools for building, editing, and adjusting chapters in real time, plus deeper strategies for using third-party witnesses—friends, roommates, RAs, Title IX staff, nurses, and bar staff—to shift key facts away from the defendant and reduce credibility battles. New content on allegation escalation helps expose how narratives change after administrative or civil involvement, creating additional impeachment opportunities.
Major Updates Included:
- More sophisticated Chapter writing and editing including detailed titles, cognitive-load reduction, real-time edits, and avoiding overwritten questions.
- New content on allegation escalation & civil litigation showing how claims expand once civil or Title IX processes begin.
- Deeper development of third-party witness cross with new examples (friends, RAs, Title IX staff, nurses) and systems for extracting favorable facts subtly.
- Advanced techniques for pre-selling cross in opening.
- New “mentalizing network” framework explaining how jurors unconsciously evaluate behavior, enabling behavior-versus-story impeachment.
- Expanded behavioral-science and bias material using neuroscience (halo effect, early-decision bias, confirmation bias, cognitive load) to guide chapter sequencing.
This is a materially new masterclass built on new science, new examples, and new courtroom techniques. Defense lawyers receive concrete, practical systems they can use immediately in adult consent-based sex cases, a while using Pozner's proven techniques built around The Chapter Method of cross-examination.
