In this French‑language monologue, the speaker laments how many newly‑graduated attorneys approach witness examinations by mechanically reading pre‑written questions without listening to the witness’s answers. He contrasts this with the more effective style of seasoned lawyers who ask a question, pause, and truly hear the witness’s response before deciding on the next line of inquiry.
