- Committee Commentator. "Learn how to not only control the focus of the jurors, but also how to control the witness in both direct and cross examination. Through watching the participants and watching through the eyes of the witness and the juror, the attorney learns what it feels like to be in those places in the courtroom in order to get a greater understanding of how to control those who sit in those places. The rising inflection (the questioning inflection) is also briefly reviewed in this section and viewers are able to observe it more thoroughly in this section."
