witness examination

Witness examination is the process used in court to gather information from someone who has firsthand knowledge about a case. It involves asking questions to that witness to clarify facts, confirm details, and present evidence that supports a party’s position. The process typically has two parts: direct examination, where the attorney questions their own witness, and cross-examination, where the opposing attorney asks questions to challenge or clarify the witness’s testimony. The goal is to ensure the court receives clear, reliable, and relevant information to help determine the facts of the case.
