Part 1 of 2 - In this presentation, I will discuss strategies for cross-examining expert witnesses. We'll begin with an overview of the rules of evidence governing experts as well as the case law.

I'll also provide examples of effective cross-examinations from cases and outline ten principles for cross-examining an expert witness.
