About this course

Building on from the Courtroom Skills course, this is an intensive cross examination workshop. Expert witnesses will be cross examined on a mock report they produce (which must not be a live case). They will receive detailed feedback from the trainer. This is ideal for an expert witness who is due to give evidence in the near future.

Please note, this session does not involve witness coaching and will not cover or discuss live evidence or the merits of any particular case.

The course runs from 9.30am – 1pm online. There is the option to deliver this course on a 1:1 basis either in person or online. Please contact us to discuss.

Dates for this course are to be confirmed. Please contact us to register your interest or to discuss your requirements.

Testimonials

What attendees say

I had given evidence a dozen times and still walked out of cross-examination rattled. This training changed how I prepare entirely.

Dr Helena Voss Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon

The Enhancing Expertise conference with McDermott KC Law was a fantastic conference and full of valuable insights for both seasoned experts and ones new to the world of acting as an expert witness. Gerard and Michelle, as were all the speakers, were engaging and genuinely interested in practically supporting all the experts in attendance to improve their ability to deliver their expert opinions to the court, to the standards expected. An added bonus was the high-quality materials that were provided to all attendees, including a really good practical guide to being an expert witness that we could take away and reflect on. More days like these please!

This gave me a much clearer sense of what the court actually expects from expert evidence, not just the theory, but how to present it under real scrutiny. I would recommend it to any expert, however experienced.

Dr Aisha Rahman Consultant Psychiatrist

Practical, well-structured and directly relevant to the reports I write every week. The mock cross-examination session alone was worth attending for.
