Excellence in Report Writing (Online) – delivered by Bond Solon on behalf of RCSEd
An expert’s report is a vital element in litigation. It must be clear, succinct, independent, and well presented. An excellent report is also one of the most effective marketing tools that an expert will have in their career. Reports are seen by many professionals during litigation and often new instructions are received from opposition lawyers.
Many experts create their own report writing style or adopt other people’s generalised formats, having rarely received constructive feedback from lawyers on what is required from their written evidence.
This course explores what lawyers and the courts expect and require from an expert’s report. You will be taught how to assess your own and other experts’ reports. Working with our model format and techniques received during the training you will be able to produce, quickly and consistently, reports that are court compliant and can withstand cross-examination. As with all our courses, you will receive a comprehensive workbook to be used as an aide-memoire.
