Expert Witness Ethics
Description:
Expert Witness Ethics is designed for everyone who works in the unpredictable world of litigation, especially construction litigation. This 60‑minute program brings together experts from the legal, insurance, and construction communities to explore the ethical responsibilities of all parties involved in litigation.
The panel will discuss how professional values intersect with ethical rules, how to handle individuals with “alternative philosophies,” and share real‑world stories involving unethical conduct in litigation. The session also examines the role of the expert witness — “a person permitted to testify at trial because of special knowledge or proficiency in a relevant field” — and how expertise in the building lifecycle intersects with claims and disputes.
