I think you should hit them with a little logical antagonism, you know, make them squirm in their seats a little. Challenge their beliefs a little. Drop them into a situation that really happened, and make them think their way out of it.
One of the first attorneys I worked for was a real jackass, but he was a fantastic med-mal defense attorney. Fantastic cross-examinations. His goal for his first question to an opposing physician was to make his mouth cottony, and to increase his heartrate ramp up over 120.
That many smart guys in one room, you've got to screw with 'em.
