Preparing your Expert Witness for Deposition & Daubert - On Demand CLE

A great expert witness brings clarity, confidence, and gravitas to your case. Before they take the stand, however, they will need to survive grueling deposition questions from the defense—and potential Daubert challenges before the judge. If opposing counsel successfully challenges their ability to testify, you may find yourself without an expert witness—or a winnable case.

John H. (Jack) Hickey has repeatedly won record-breaking verdicts and settlements in state and federal court. Because his firm specializes in cases against cruise lines, Hickey has significant experience winning in federal court where experts are routinely challenged. In this webinar, he shares time-tested methods you can immediately adopt for your next expert witness. He will show you how to familiarize yourself with both the law and your expert’s area of expertise, offering simple rules to explain the value of your expert witness. Hickey will then review common mistakes that can lead to inadmissible evidence and incomplete testimony.

This 60-minute webinar will cover:

• Preparing your expert (and yourself) for deposition and trial
• Understanding your witness’s niche expertise
• Communicating ground rules your expert witnesses should follow
• What you can and cannot say to your witness

The more damning your witness’s testimony, the more fiercely opposing counsel will fight to have them excluded. Don’t let a poorly prepared expert tank your case and reduce your credibility in the process.
