Mastering The Use Of Expert Witnesses
PLI is assembling a panel of experienced litigators and expert witnesses to demystify some of the most common challenges.
Expert witnesses play a key role in litigation practice, and they’ve been garnering press everywhere you look these days — from murder trials and celebrity defamation cases, to the Advisory Committee on Evidence Rules’ recently proposed rule amendments aimed at curbing the admission of “junk” expert scientific testimony.
Searching for, retaining, using, and examining expert witnesses doesn’t have to be a daunting experience. Mastering the use of these experts can offer critical benefits, particularly in complex litigation.
For its half-day Expert Witness 2022 program, PLI is assembling a panel of experienced litigators and expert witnesses to demystify some of the most common challenges that arise in selecting, preparing, and using experts. Discussion topics will include:
