Report Writing Refresher - overview
This course is for expert witnesses who have already attended the Excellence in Report Writing course two or more years ago. It is designed to enable experts to refine their report writing skills and improve the quality of their reports.
There will be an in-depth critique of each experts’ report by our experienced lawyer-trainer, as well as peer-to-peer feedback, all based on objective assessment criteria for writing expert witness reports.
Expert witness skills and knowledge can be lost over time if they’re not refreshed and sharpened regularly. This course will allow experts to revisit the key principles that apply to expert witness reports and help ensure them understand the latest rules and conventions of expert evidence.
This CPD course will enable you to keep you report writing skills up-to-date, and undertake reflections to help you think about areas for improvement in your report writing as well as what you are doing well.
