Which of the following is NOT one of the four forms of examination?

The correct answer is "Rebuttal" because, in the context of legal examinations, the four primary forms typically include direct examination, cross-examination, redirect examination, and sometimes additional specific types depending on the jurisdiction or situation.

Direct examination involves questioning a witness by the party who called the witness to present their case. Cross-examination refers to questioning by an opposing party to challenge the witness’s credibility or the information they provided. Redirect examination is the subsequent questioning of the witness after cross-examination, intended to clarify or expand upon information that came up during the cross-examination.

"Rebuttal," while a legal term, generally refers to evidence or argumentation provided in response to the opposing party's claims, rather than a distinct form of examination like the others listed. Understanding these categories is essential in the context of courtroom procedures and evidence presentation, reinforcing how attorneys interact with witnesses to build or dismantle a case.
