Maintain Professional Integrity In Vigorous Cross Examination (W7) MP3

Workshop

The climate of Family Court litigation has grown more and more aggressive over time. Some lawyers who are litigating evaluations or are fighting evaluation recommendations are more frequently attacking the evaluator personally. Attorneys are also aggressively and often viciously attacking the evaluation process, data collection, data analysis, or the connection between data and outcome. Evaluators need to know defending their work is not as simple as preparing for testimony. This workshop is not meant to be a beginning workshop on the basics of how to testify. This course will focus on conducting the evaluation and developing evaluation practice procedures to follow to be able to withstand these types of aggressive tactics. We will also discuss effective questioning for attorneys so they can achieve their goals without alienating the Court, the evaluator, or other attorneys.
