The DVD of a negligent hiring trial, filmed in an actual Los Angeles courtroom, features opening statements, cross-examination of an HR professional, testimony from an expert witness, closing arguments, and jury instructions. The DVD even includes re-enactment of a crime as caught on a surveillance camera. Part of the training process is for viewers to act as jurors and to deliberate in order to reach a “verdict” based upon the DVD.
“Lawsuits for negligent hiring are among the fastest growing area of personal injury litigation today,” said Lester Rosen, an attorney and founder of Employment Screening Resources. ”This type of training may well help employers avoid multi-million dollar verdicts that can occur when a business fails to exercise due diligence by hiring someone with an unsuitable criminal record or false credentials.”
