Cross-examination aims to make case trials more transparent, enabling courts to more accurately determine evidence and better protect the procedural rights of the parties involved. The outcome of cross-examination often sets the direction for the case. Maximizing the effectiveness of evidence not only tests a lawyer's logical thinking in evidence analysis but also reflects their overall grasp of the case.
