In Taking Depositions and Handling Expert Witnesses, students will learn how to prepare for, take and defend depositions of lay and expert witnesses. This is a skills-based course where students will actually take depositions and work with experts. This is a short course and will move quickly and have strict attendance policies.
Three key components of the class are:
Prepare and evaluate expert reports;
Preparing and presenting expert witnesses in hearings, depositions, and trial
Taking depositions of “real” expert witnesses (psychiatric residents at Dell Medical School; non-law students)
Suggested prerequisites or concurrent: Evidence, Advocacy Survey, ADR courses.
