Cross-Examination for Expert Witnesses Reviews

Course materials weren't really used so not necessarily relevant to the session.

The course booklet structure was not really used as the focus was more on what issues/ideas we had that we wanted to go through before then doing the cross-examination. Richard was great at cross-examining us, with really helpful questions and making it very realistic to a real expert witness in court scenario.

Thank you

Excellent trainer (Nick Deal) with a very measured, understandable and relatable approach to covering topics.

Great preparation for the real thing - I now feel more confident if I get called to deliver evidence as an expert witness

Really helpful - having not yet been to court and cross examined it was invaluable experience

Nick is a great teacher - calm and knowledgeable

A great format, as I felt very clear and confident by the time I completed my cross examination. The exercises and practice cross examination were very useful.

Well thought through workbook and exercises to allow understanding of others' reports and subsequent cross-examination

I think the course could be improved with videos showing good and bad technique when faced with different challenges on cross examination. The role playing is fine, but not everyone can participate. And model behaviour would be best demonstrated with examples that can be observed.
