Benefits of Attending

Make Sure Your Evidence and Expert Testimony Get In!

Your case could hinge on a particular witness or piece of evidence, so why risk having them excluded by the court? To be an effective litigator, you must stay current on evidence rules and case law - and know how to use this information to your advantage in the courtroom.

Our respected faculty have distilled their experience into this powerful program so you can apply statutory and case law impacting the admissibility of evidence and expert testimony to your cases. Qualify your experts and their reports, and confidently handle hearsay issues, while meeting your ethical obligations with regard to experts. Put our effective strategies to use during trial to pick the jury, cross-examine opposing expert witnesses and block admission of opposing expert witness testimony.

• Get your experts qualified - and know how to keep opposing expert testimony out.
• Carefully navigate ethical issues, such as fees paid to an expert.
