/tə ˈæsk ɪn ʧiːf/ – Phrase
Definition: hỏi, đặt câu hỏi hay yêu cầu trong khi tiến hành buổi thẩm vấn chính.
A more throughout explanation: “To ask in chief” is a legal term that refers to the primary questioning of a witness by the party who called the witness to testify. This initial questioning is typically conducted to elicit relevant information and establish the witness’s testimony before the opposing party has an opportunity to cross-examine the witness.
Example: During the cross-examination, the defense attorney asked the witness in chief about the events leading up to the alleged crime.
