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 litigation, we sometimes know (or think we know) what is going on without reviewing testimony, because construction projects are so document intensive. But in some cases we learn almost 100% of the "facts" from testimony. Of course, the "facts" described in testimony are not carved in stone and carried down a mountain. 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 to the facts as presented. 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 the work of a case using testimony. We will begin with our framework analysis. Then we'll be on to discuss preparing to question and questioning a witness, analyzing testimony, and utilizing testimony in reports.
