Engineers are often asked to be expert witnesses in civil suits, or to simply provide services for mediations and forensic investigations. Join Dr. David Williams to learn what to expect when asked to participate in legal processes or forensic investigations, how to prepare, and how to minimize your business’ exposure to possible legal actions. Dr. Williams will outline how engineers should conduct as expert witness during depositions and trials representing yourself as a competent witness who is in control, reputable, believable, and most of all, an unbiased knowledgeable witness. Additionally, we’ll discuss related topics that will help you be an ethical, effective, and credible professional engineer. Dr. David Williams brings his experience as an expert witness in over 25 court actions. In this webinar Dr. Williams will discuss ethical conduct and the role of the expert witness as a non-advocate. We’ll explore what is expected behavior throughout the process, how to handle pressure, and how to prepare for mediation, deposition and trial. Please note: this ethics webinar is intended to fulfill the annual ethics course requirements for most professional certifications and registrations.

Poor audio quality but good course
Very informative
Excellent advice
I would definitely recommend
Something relevant, but other than technical. Good oversight. Sound quality could have been better.

Dr. Williams gave a lot of good information for engineers that will be acting as expert witnesses. There is a lot of legal background given that a novice would need to know. It is also a great review. The sound quality of this course was very poor.
This course was useful. I have already served as an expert witness and wish I had taken this course many years ago. Audio could be improved since it faded in and out.
Dr. Williams made good points that would have helped me with the subtleties in my first deposition. It will be very useful next time.
