About the Course:
Expert evidence is a highly effective tool to deploy at trial, but with great power comes great responsibility; stumbling out of the gate by failing to properly establish an expert's qualifications can be disastrous. Conversely, successfully challenging an expert's qualifications can disrupt an opponent's trial strategy, and put them on their heels. In this seminar, we aim to provide you with some tips and strategies to navigate expert evidence, including the basics of qualifying an expert witness and establishing the scope of their expertise, as well as ideas for probing weaknesses in a witness's credentials and techniques for keeping them out of the box.
