Leading questions (questions that suggest their own answer) have different rules depending on the stage of examination. They are freely permitted during cross-examination because the purpose of cross-examination is to test the witness's credibility. During examination-in-chief and re-examination, they are generally prohibited because the examining party should not coach their own witness — but exceptions exist for preliminary/introductory matters, undisputed facts, and facts already established through other evidence.
