Examining Experts at Deposition & Trial
March 2006
Examining Experts and Deposition and Trial presented by National Speaker Larry J. Cohen
This program addresses the special issues presented when deposing liability and damages experts. The presentation begins with a review of the strategic and tactical issues lawyers should consider when preparing for and taking experts' depositions. The program then turns to preparation issues, such as background research, working with consulting experts to prepare for the deposition and the development of an examination outline. A substantial portion of the program is then spent reviewing different examination techniques that can be used to support the examining lawyer's “theory of the case”, and through cross examination, to challenge the admissibility of the expert's opinions.
Live and videotaped demonstrations illustrate ways in which lawyers can incorporate these techniques in their own practice. The program concludes with suggestions for using experts' deposition testimony to support case dispositive motions, at evidentiary hearing, and in preparing the lawyer's own expert for deposition and trial.
MATERIALS INCLUDE:
- An overview of discussions about techniques used to depose expert witnesses
- Illustrative examination outlines
- Checklists to use in preparing for the deposition
- Sources of information that can be used to challenge the foundation and credibility of experts
- A bibliography of reference and practice resources
This program should be of greatest interest to civil litigation practitioners. It may be of interest to criminal litigation practitioners to the extent they address medical and psychological issues in their cases. The program is directed towards lawyers with beginning to intermediate experience.
