Program Summary: Experts specializing in DNA evidence, memory and recall, forensic pathology and toxicology, eyewitness identification, mental health, firearms and toolmarks and other forensic evidence have become increasingly common in criminal cases. Frequently dealing with specific fields and disciplines, the subject matter of a given expert can be intimidating for defense counsel, however defending against experts and presenting them as part of your client's case is an essential skill all criminal defense attorneys need. This program, comprised of NACDL's highest-rated speeches from recent CLE trainings, will provide you with the knowledge and confidence to effectively handle an expert without the worry of having to become an expert yourself. Learn the techniques to effectively present your experts while refuting the testimony of the prosecution's expert.
