The Great Examination for Discovery: Principles and Principal Techniques
Wednesday, November 2, 2016

If done right, the questioning of an adverse witness at an examination for discovery is an intellectually rigorous discipline requiring the diligent and skillful application of the logical rules that best exploit case theory opportunities and best attack case theory problems.

All litigators should have studied the discipline’s dozens of rules while still in law school, and, later on, should have observed their law firms' experienced litigators effectively employing those rules in every adverse examination for discovery. 

Attacking the Expert's Opinion at Trial
Thursday, November 3, 2016

The expert is typically the most dangerous trial witness because, testifying cloaked with the mantle of the "truth-seeking, seen-it-all-before scientist," his or her opinion can determine a major issue, maybe the entire case.  Yet, the expert can also be the trial's most vulnerable witness because, unlike the fact witness who must principally defend only first-hand observations, the expert can be attacked on several fronts: science, integrity, qualifications, and thoroughness.

The focus of this seminar is the one, logical method the trial cross-examiner must understand to most effectively attack the "scientific merits" of the expert's opinion, no matter the field of expertise.
