How to Spot a Liar: The Advanced Course
With Doug Cash
Co-sponsored by the Colorado Bar Association Litigation Section
Program Description:
No matter what area of law you practice, you are regularly called upon to assess a person’s credibility – whether it’s a potential client, a witness you are deposing, a person on the witness stand, or even opposing counsel – as an attorney, you are asked to judge a person’s veracity on a daily basis.
What actual tools do you have to assess a person’s credibility? Get the tools you need … and practice them … at How to Spot a Liar: The Advanced Course with Doug Cash, on April 19. Whether it’s recognizing our own blind spots, focusing on your interviewee's body movements or knowing the 10 tell-tale signs of deception, Doug will not only teach you interview techniques, but you’ll get to practice them in class!
Participants at the Basics Course raved about their experience with Doug Cash, and asked for more, so we are bringing you an advanced course.
