Event Synopsis:

Evaluating facts intelligently often requires the application of some scientific, technical or specialized knowledge. The most common source of knowledge is the expert witness. In cases involving expert witness testimony, the exclusion of an expert's evidence can most of the time successfully end a suit.

In 1993, the admissibility of expert testimony in federal trials and affirmation of a gatekeeping role for judges to determine reliability and relevance of the testimony was addressed during the US Supreme Court's opinion in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals Inc. case. It was then in 1999 where the Supreme Court's decision in Kumho Tire Co. v. Carmichael clarified the applicability of the Daubert criteria to all types of expert testimony in federal jurisdiction, including financial expert testimony. To date, many state courts adopted the Daubert standard to make a preliminary assessment of whether an expert's scientific testimony is based on reasoning or methodology and is scientifically valid and can properly be applied to the facts at issue.

In this LIVE Webcast, a panel of thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide the audience with an in-depth analysis of the fundamental frameworks of the Daubert Standards. Speakers will also provide the audience with practical tips on overcoming the risks and challenges.

Key topics include:

§  An Overview of Daubert Standards

§  Bringing and Defending a Daubert Challenge

§  Strategic and Tactical Considerations

§  Potential Risks and Legal Challenges

§  Recent Developments
