Learn how to prove and defend damages in employment cases with the use of expert witnesses. This practical program will take you step-by-step through the analysis from the perspectives of experienced employment attorneys, a hearing officer and expert witnesses. You will gain insight into how to decide whether an expert witness will be beneficial; prepare for and conduct the deposition; and utilize the transcript of the deposition at trial.

The panel will also demonstrate a deposition of an expert witness. Counsel will share a brief description of the testimony sought; demonstrate the actual questioning of two types of witnesses; and comment on the effectiveness of the testimony.

This is an invaluable program—providing both strategic insight and practical guidance.
