This convenient handbook is a quick and concise guide to the rules for creating persuasive expert reports and the information you’ll need to assure your expert is accepted by the judge and allowed to testify. This guide will show you: who must file an expert report; what the report should include; who writes the report; when to create drafts and whether to retain them; what portions of the preparation activities are discoverable and; when to supplement the initial report. In addition, this handbook guides you in the art of voir dire-proofing your expert–and how to attack the credentials of the opposing expert. All in a book designed to fit easily in a briefcase.
