Direct and Cross Examination

/in /by

SUBJECT: Direct and Cross Examination

Goal:The goal of direct examination is to create testimony that supports your theory of the case. Direct examination is a series of questions designed to give your witness the opportunity to present testimony favorable to your case. On cross examination, your goal is to impeach the credibility of the witness to make it less likely the witness’s testimony should be believed. (I have attached an article from the ABA on effective direct and cross examination.)

Grading:This assignment is worth 15 points which is 15% of your final grade. You willreceive individualized feedback in the form of written comments and a rubric.The breakdown of the grading will be as follows:Substantive Content:50%Organization & Format:50%

Your job:Prepare direct testimony questions for a witness that will testify favorably for yourcase. There are two witnesses, Maggie Martin will testify favorably for the Nursing Board while Sam Smith will testify favorably for the Respondent, Joseph Johnson. In preparing your direct testimony, you should focus on facts that help prove your case. Your questions on direct should be open-ended giving your witness an opportunity to explain her answers using such terms as: when, where, why, how, explain. Open-ended questions give the witness the opportunity to provide more than a yes or no answer and help build credibility for your witnesses. Leading questions are questions where you suggest the answer to your witness; they are generally not permitted on direct but may be used freely on cross examination. You will want to make eachpoint clear so listen carefully to your witness’s answers. On cross-examination the scope of the questioning is generally much more limited than direct.The goal of cross examination is to impeach the credibility of the witness. To that extent, you should prepare questions that cause the listener to question the veracity of the witness’s testimony. These are not open-ended questions, they are generally yes or no questions with no opportunity or need for explanation. Cross examination is generally quite limited and focuses on weakness in the witness’s testimony. There are two witnesses in this case. You will write cross examination questions for the witness you do not call for direct examination.

Length: For Direct Examination, you should prepare 3 pages of direct testimony. For Cross Examination, you should prepare one page of cross examination. Your questions should be organized by topical areas.Format: The questions should be in Times New Roman 12 point font, double-spaced, 1 inch margins with page numbers at the bottom center of each page.

What are the quantitative and qualitative metrics of these evaluations and and recomendations?

The philosophy that is practiced with in Dollar General Organization is a customized outline of performance based compensation philosophy. It entails fixed basic pay, a variable pay that is hinges on the achievements and fringe benefits that are provided to the staffs of the company. In this scenario, the weight of the variable pay is the maximum in the middle of all the diverse elements of the Dollar General compensation. This is practiced to give confidence and inspire the workers to achieve the performance according to the yardstick level set by the Human Resources department of the organization. In addition, the variable pay also comprises the monetary component of the inducements extended to the staffs and fringe benefits incorporate the non-monetary benefits like awards, promotion as well as other type of appreciation. So, it bestows enthusiasm to the workers to labor at their peak level. Above and beyond, it generates a prospect for the company to catch the attention of the finest talents who are confident to deliver.

This policy has one constructive benefit that workers make every effort to perform as it is the solitary way to get top compensation package, in addition to Dollar General streamlining the desires of the workers with rewards to endow with constant inspiration. The negative effect is that staffs will focus more on the inducement and lay emphasis on their individual benefit while ignoring the best interest of the company customers, a condition which has a negative impact on the company image. Moreover, the performance of the team is also affected because of the promise to reward the greatest individual performance(Dollar General Careers | Benefits, 2018). .

.

In performance based pay, merit and quality wise work completion is quite important. In this method, people who will perform higher will be paid accordingly. To a little degree, we can say that here component of impartiality will be present as merit will be the foundation. There exist unrestricted opportunity to get the compensation. In this, an enticement or bonus reparation might be remunerated to the individual contribution, group or on the whole company basis. Under this scenario, efficiency will be sustained by the business by numerous inventiveness of extra payment.

Recommendations

1.      Loyalty to employees is paramount-The company needs not fire employees they are wounded or injured within or outside the workplace. The organization should help the workers find security and safety in their normal home life, then an employee will be more than ready to place much effort in their career and it will bring out the best in them.

2.      Build a safe, harassment free place of work for all workers of all creed, races and nationalities. The basis of promotion decisions should never on creed, race and sexuality preferences(Worse Than Walmart?,2018).

3.      Dollar general needs to use feedback surveys as an approach to illustrate to workers they have the company’s support and encourage their incessant hard work at streamlining working environment. Optimistic environment is the beginning to constructive employees.
