Expert Witness Bootcamp
Program Sponsor: Financial Forensics Institute

Program Content

The Expert Witness Bootcamp is a three-day intensive workshop designed for financial professionals who want to develop and enhance their skills as expert witnesses or as consulting experts in litigation. Each participant in the bootcamp will participate as a testifying or consulting expert in a trial involving financial testimony. Participants will learn the art of delivering effective testimony and how to withstand grueling cross examination. Our consulting expert participants will learn how to dissect and critique the reports and opinions of the testifying experts and how to prepare counsel for the expert segments of trial. Each participant will be coached and guided by members of our faculty of seasoned experts and trial attorneys. The bootcamp culminates in a courtroom setting during which each testifying expert presents and defends his or her own expert opinions on the witness stand. Participants who successfully complete the bootcamp will have met the experience requirement for the Financial Litigation specialty of the Certified Forensic Financial Analyst (CFFA) program.
