Conduct your entire cross examination of the defendant’s expert as a sharply directed, controlled cross examination. At the outset have their expert admit that she is prepared to give her full and final opinions at the deposition today. Use both constructive and destructive cross. Do not permit their expert to explain or elaborate until the end of the deposition, until after you’ve asked all your questions and gotten all your expert concessions.

Once amassed, your power must be hyper-focused. Sunzi writes of “The strike of a hawk at the killing snap.” Thoroughly prepared to unleash her power, the hawk is hyper-focused, fast and lethal. With a commanding view chosen for scanning surrounding terrain, telescope-like vision, the hawk plunges steeply downward, wings partially closed at speeds that can exceed 120 mph, all 4 talons fully extended, on contact the talons of her contracting foot driven into the body of her prey.
