The Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing But Persuasion™
Each attendee will participate as a testifying and consulting expert in a trial involving financial testimony or family law issues. Attendees will learn the art of delivering effective testimony and how to withstand grueling crossexamination. As consulting experts, attendees 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 attendee will be coached and guided by members of our faculty of seasoned experts and trial attorneys. The boot camp culminates in a courtroom setting during which each program attendee, as a testifying expert, presents and defends his or her own expert opinions on the witness stand.
After completing this virtual boot camp, attendees will be able to:
- Illustrate compelling and persuasive testimony at deposition and trial
- Identify and effectively respond to the strategy and tactics used by opposing counsel
