Working With Experts and Expert Related Evidence Training Seminar

Make the Best Use of Your Evidence and Expert Testimony!

As an experienced litigation practitioner, you know that finding the right evidence and testimony can strongly impact the success of your trial. But finding it isn't the end of the story. Unless you can persuasively and effectively present your supporting information - and discredit that of your opponent - you may as well not prepare anything at all. Are you getting the most out of your evidence and testimony?

At this comprehensive seminar, you'll gain these crucial practice skills through an innovative combination of lecture-style seminar and hands-on, mock trial exercises. Even well-presented evidence can't help if it's not admitted - learn the best ways to get "gatekeeper" approval. Discredit or block your opposition's evidence using our proven strategies. Give your listeners an understanding of what's to come by clearly introducing expert testimony and scientific evidence. Ask questions during cross-examination that can neutralize your opponent's expert testimony. Get comfortable with your new skills by participating in mock trial exercises and examining case studies.

Back up your expert's testimony by verifying their methodologies and validating their theories.
Challenge your opponent's expert by knowing exactly what questions to ask.
