______ is the examination of a witness by the attorney who calls the witness to the stand to testify on behalf of the attorney's client

Voir dire
Cross-examination
Direct examination
Redirect examination

The correct answer is: Direct examination

Direct examination is the examination of a witness by the attorney who calls the witness to the stand to testify on behalf of the attorney's client. This is different from cross-examination, which is when the opposing attorney questions the witness, and redirect examination, which occurs if the opposing attorney raises new issues during cross-examination that need to be addressed by the original attorney. Voir dire is the process of questioning potential jurors to determine their suitability for serving on a jury. None of the other options correctly describe the examination of a witness by the attorney who calls them to testify on behalf of their client.
