Trial Tutorials Examination of Experts

About this program
Expert witnesses can provide powerful testimony at trial but mishandling the direct or cross examination of expert witnesses can completely derail a case.
In this Trial Tutorial, Michael Geibelson will demonstrate exactly how to harness and not squander that powerful expert testimony. Mr. Geibelson will demonstrate how to qualify expert witnesses, call expert credibility into question, lay foundation, address bias and impeachment, and perhaps most importantly, how to elicit expert testimony jurors will actually understand. The demonstration will be paired with strategic analysis and ample opportunity to answer audience questions.
This OnDemand CLE program earns 1 hour of General credit in California. It aired November 17, 2025 and features Michael A. Geibelson, Rudolph F. Lehrer, and Ben Sheppard.
