Overview

Off the shelf (OTS)

Public sector professionals who act as expert witnesses or provide expert advice, need to be independent in their reporting. Expert witness reports must also be clear, succinct, well presented and conform with the legal rules governing expert witness work.

Many experts develop their own report-writing style or adopt other people’s. But they’ve rarely received constructive feedback from lawyers on what’s actually required from their written evidence.

This course explores what lawyers and the courts expect and require from an expert witness’s report. You’ll be taught how to assess your own and other experts’ reports, and to produce, quickly and consistently, reports that are court-compliant and that can withstand cross-examination.
