Researching Expert Witnesses
 
The opposing party has identified its expert witness. That expert’s testimony had been deemed unreliable in prior lawsuits because of the methodology used.  Such a ruling and the exact language used by the Judge with respect to the Expert could be very damaging in a current case.  But how do you locate this information? 
 
This webinar will highlight various types of online sources from Lexis Advance that can be used to gather information about an expert and assess the admissibility of that expert’s testimony (whether one’s own or the opposing party) including tips and strategies for using the information found.  Moreover, attendees will learn how to incorporate Context from Lexis Advance into their Expert Witness research workflow.  Context, a language analytics resource will allow users to  
• Know the challenge history and outcomes for an expert witness; and
• Know how often an expert’s testimony was excluded and more specifically the reasons WHY

Researching Judges/Build Better Motions
 
Judges have a huge impact on a case because of their style, knowledge and tendencies.  It is vital to research them.  What if you knew that your Judge always cites to the same opinion and the same sentence in every Motion to Dismiss decision?  Wouldn’t you want to know that and use it to your advantage? 
 
This webinar will highlight various online sources from Lexis Advance that can be used to gather information about a Judge including tips and strategies for using the information found. 
  • Know the argument that your Judge finds most persuasive; and
  • Pinpoint the language, precedents and even other judges your judge finds most compelling
