Prompt

An adverse witness is connected to your opponent— the opposing party— their employee— or someone aligned with their interests. Here’s why it matters. Normally, direct examination limits leading questions. But not here. With an adverse witness—you can lead. You can press them like it’s cross. Because the law recognizes they are not neutral. This is a strategic tool— used to challenge the other side— inside your own case. Federal Rule of Evidence 611.Source. Chapter Six Page 403 Evidence, Text, Problems, and Cases, Fourth
