SUMMARY:Learning the C’s of Becoming an Effective Expert Witness
DESCRIPTION:Learning the “C’s” of Becoming an Effective Expert Witness\n \nDate\nTuesday, October 25, 2022\n1:00 PM – 2:30 PM ET\nEducational Credits:  IIBEC:  1.5 CEHs | AIA:  1.5 LUs (including HSW credit)\n\nExpert witnesses are key in the courtroom, as more complicated disputes need a clear explanation to a jury/arbitration. However, agreement on what makes a great expert witness is fleeting, and often as arguable as the case itself. The goal of this presentation is to provide valuable insight into the role of an expert in the litigation process and to offer valuable tips that will produce positive results.\n \nObjectives\n\nDefine the role of an expert witness as it relates to the specific expertise requested for testimony or consultations.\n\n\nDiscuss best practices for communication during the investigative, discovery, deposition, and courtroom phases of litigation.\n\n\nDescribe the impact that the consistency of an expert witness’s opinion has on the integrity of the litigation process.\n\n\nIdentify expert witness pitfalls that result in a risk of a Daubert motion [CH1] during the litigation process.\nSummarize the importance of truth and candor in expert witness testimony.\n\nExpected Outcomes\nLearners will be able to incorporate the principles and best practices outlined in the five “Cs” to increase effectiveness as an expert witness in the litigation process.\n\nClassification: Understand your role as an expert witness. What type of expertise are you being asked to provide [consulting or testifying (fact or subject-matter) expert witnesses], and what will be the resulting impact to your work?\nCoachability and Communication: Listen, be coachable, and communicate well. Understand your role and learn best practices of communication during the investigative, discovery, deposition, and courtroom phases of the case.\nConfidence and Consistency: Expert witnesses are retained to take a position and hold that position throughout the litigation process. Confidence and consistency in your opinion(s) are critical components for the desired outcome of successful litigation.\nConcentration and Consensus: Stay within your area of expertise/concentration—your knowledge, experience, education, training, and skills, as well as the standards within your industry of practice. Deviation from your areas of expertise or industry standard practice in support of your opinions allows you to be disqualified as an expert (Daubert motion), undermines the entire case, wastes money, and discredits the attorney and client.\nCandor: In any ligation matter, the truth is always the most important. The truth presented with sincerity is the ultimate goal of any litigation proceeding. Clearly communicating all aspects of a matter related to your expertise is critical for the attorneys to prepare for the case and to best represent the client.\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n
