Brief Program Description

Specifically designed for professionals interested in becoming familiar with the work of the court and the unique role played by professionals that are called to testify. We will use an actual child custody case to address some of these issues. In this context, the program will address issues related to crucial elements of a proper evaluation for custody, challenges on issues related to gathering information from cooperative and uncooperative sources, issues of pre-trail deposition, and  issues related to how best to prepare to be recognized as expert witness by the court and become part of a court appointed panel. Finally, we will cover issues related to rendering effective expert testimony and ethical issues likely to emerge. Delineation of the common errors to avoid and what sort of training should a forensic professional have will also be addressed and demonstrated through a simulation experience (moot court) in front of a judge. Forensic psychologist(s), attorneys for the different parties will be involved in the demonstration. The follow-up (postmortem) panel discussion composed by these individuals will interact with the audience.
