Course overview

A technical expert can be completely right and still lose the point under cross examination, because giving evidence is a separate skill from knowing the subject. This course covers that skill.

What you will be able to do
  • Understand the duty an expert owes the court
  • Write a report that survives scrutiny
  • Separate fact, assumption and opinion clearly
  • Prepare for cross examination on your method
  • Give evidence clearly under pressure
  • Handle the limits of your own expertise honestly
Who should attend
  • Technical and professional experts
  • Engineers, accountants and clinicians giving evidence
  • Investigators appearing at hearings
  • Managers called as factual witnesses
