Objectives:
Expert witnesses often fail to communicate their findings in court because they are unable to bridge the gap between their technical expertise and the level of understanding of competent but non-technical judges. Lawyers can help their witnesses to convey the results of their analyses more clearly and credibly. Top economists and lawyers and two judges with considerable experience hearing economic evidence explain how.
Key benefits:
• Learn how to submit effective expert witness reports
• Hear from those with experience in cross-examination of expert witnesses
• Discuss how best to conduct a direct presentation
• Learn that what matters is not what you say but what they hear
• Understand how judges assess the credibility of expert witnesses
