Wellman covers the topics of handling perjured witness and the expert, and the importance of sequence and the importance of paying attention to the nature of the psychology of the witness.The aspect of Wellman showing how, and knowing when, to illicit information from the witness is why this book has become famous.Wellman uses many famous (at the time) cases that are very humorous, and also timeless (marital discord in 1903 is marital discord in 2004, for example). An incredibly well written book with numerous useful "nuggets" of information.
