Expert Qualifications and Designations
Introduction
Having the right expert or experts on your side when it comes to litigation can make or break a case, so it is important set yourself up for success by taking care in the selection and preparation of your expert. This program hopes to help simplify this overwhelming process.
We will discuss some of the nuances and complexity of selecting experts with significant litigation experience versus deep, specialized industry experience, but little or no experience with testimony. Experts with the right combination of knowledge, skill, experience, and the ability to communicate technical information to non-technical people, so that the audience can make informed and intelligent decisions, is a rare package. And some people you think would make a great expert just fold like a lawn chair under cross-examination, even when they are right!
This one hour overview is a guide through each step of the expert selection and designation process: deciding what expertise is needed for a case, selecting a properly qualified expert, designating those experts in litigation, as well as advice on how to manage a team of experts. Anyone who uses expert witnesses in litigation to support their case would benefit from the information in this program.
