Learning level: All levels
Learn the one, right logical method a cross-examiner must understand
Experts are typically the most dangerous trial witnesses because, testifying cloaked with the mantle of the "truth-seeking, seen-it-all-before scientist," their opinion can determine a major issue, maybe the entire case. Yet, they can also be the trial's most vulnerable witnesses because, unlike fact witnesses who must principally defend only their first-hand observations, experts can be attacked on several fronts: science, integrity, qualifications, and thoroughness. The focus of this seminar is the one, right, 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.
