July 23: Conjoint Analysis in Litigation

Description:
Conjoint analysis, long used in marketing research to measure how consumers value product attributes, has increasingly been introduced in litigation as a tool for quantifying economic harm. In consumer class actions and intellectual property disputes, conjoint studies are often proposed to estimate the value consumers place on specific product features, including allegedly misleading claims or protected intellectual property.

This presentation examines how conjoint analysis can be designed and applied in litigation settings. It will discuss the economic principles behind conjoint methods, the types of legal questions they are used to address, such as price premium or apportionment, and the practical considerations involved in implementing a reliable study. The discussion will also highlight key challenges that arise in litigation, including survey design, attribute selection, market realism, and judicial scrutiny under evidentiary standards.

Drawing on recent cases and expert practice, the presentation will explore both the promise and limitations of conjoint evidence. The goal is to provide practitioners with a clearer understanding of when conjoint analysis may be appropriate, how it can inform damages analysis, and what issues commonly arise when such studies are evaluated by courts.

October 22: Opposing Expert Testimony: Preparing Before and Analyzing After

Pete Fowler Construction Services logo Testimony is what legal cases are made of. It is the most compelling evidence of all. Therefore, we should think VERY hard about the testimony in every legal matter we work on. First, we need to elicit the testimony we need, then, we need to analyze, summarize, and use it in well supported arguments.
In our work on building-related claims, we sometimes know (or think we know) what is going on without reviewing testimony, because construction projects are so document intensive. But in other cases we learn almost 100% of the "facts" from testimony. Of course, the "facts" described in testimony are not carved in stone. At best testimony is based on memory, prompted by contemporaneous documentation, and at worst it's intentionally false.
Every litigated case is a competing story of who is right and wrong, and how the law applies. Our primary job as expert consultants and witnesses is to organize and understand the evidence and explain it to our clients in plain language so that they can make smart decisions.
This program is all about how attorneys and experts should collect, organize, summarize, analyze, share, and use testimony to make and support their case. We will begin with our basic analysis. Then we'll be on to preparing for and questioning witnesses, analyzing testimony, and utilizing testimony in opinions and reports.
Description:
Program Outline.
  • Introduction.
  • Construction Claims Analysis.
  • Preparing to Question a Witness.
  • Questioning the Witness.
  • Testimony Transcript Analysis.
  • Using Testimony in Analysis and Reports.
  • Conclusion.

  • Understand how testimony should be used in litigation, especially by experts.
  • Discuss strategies for preparing to examine witnesses.
