Cross Examination
Excellent
Asks questions related only to evidence introduced by opposing counsel. By doing so, effectively disproves at least one key piece of evidence that opposing counsel argues. OR appropriately does not cross examine witnesses or experts. Excellent voice / excellent eye contact.
Good
Questions stray once or twice from testimony, facts, and evidence. Disproves at least one key piece of evidence but decision to not cross-examine may seem questionable. Good voice / good eye contact.
Average
Questions mostly do not refer to the testimony, facts, and/or evidence previously submitted. By not cross-examining, key facts are left unchallenged. Somewhat monotonous voice / limited eye contact.
Poor
Questions are all sustained via objection as they attempt to introduce new evidence that was missed during direct. Refusal to cross-examine results in the opposing counsel's almost assured victory. Poor voice / poor eye contact.
Use of Objections
Excellent
Objections are used with a high degree of efficacy and accuracy. They are used not only as defense to refute opposing counsel's case, but also to draw attention to unstated fact / opinion. Strong voice and eye-contact.
Good
Objections are made with a moderate degree of efficacy and accuracy. However, the attorney's may make a mistake in two in the assignment of causation for the objection. Strong voice / strong eye contact.
Average
Objections seem to be made with little legal consideration. Or objections are not made when they should be - more than three times. Good voice / good eye contact.
Poor
The concept of the "objection" seems completely lost on the attorney. Objections seem to be made for the sake of making them. Or. objections are not being used and opposing counsel is getting facts into evidence that should not be. Poor voice / poor eye contact.
Dress/Appearance
Excellent
The attorney dressed in business attire with coat and tie (men) or dress/slacks and jacket (women).
Good

Average

Excellent

Good

Average
The attorney read the case file but did little research to aid his/her case. Witnesses were not prepared adequately to anticipate opposition questions during cross-examination. Classroom time was not used effectively.
Poor
No effort was made to understand or prepare for this case.
