This is the text for a course that I have taught to lawyers on how to use expert witnesses and how to attack their opponent's experts.  The topics include:

• How to make sure you get all the discovery that you're entitled to from your opponent's expert
• How to prepare your expert to be deposed
• How to take a really effective deposition from your opponent's expert
• A foolproof method for safe and effective cross-examinations of experts
