Cross-examination is governed by the rules of evidence of the particular jurisdiction. In criminal cases a defendant, through his lawyer, have the constitutional right to confront the prosecution's witnesses. Nevertheless, the questions and scope of cross-examination can be quite limited and lawyers representing each side are permitted to object to questions that are irrelevant, improperly phrased, or lacking foundation. While most people think a good cross-examiner aggressively attacks a witness's veracity, a sophisticated trial lawyer may use cross-examination to elicit favorable facts from a witness in a non-hostile manner. Arguably, cross-examination is the reason for the trial. A trial lawyer may also use cross-examination to clarify a witness's testimony.
