Cross-examination is the questioning of a witness by the opposing side during a trial, which is what Mikayla's attorney is doing with Nilson. Depositions are pre-trial questioning of witnesses or parties, direct examination is questioning by the party who called the witness, and interrogatories are written questions submitted to the opposing party.
