AICPA expert witness skills workshop

Beyond technical or financial knowledge, serving as an effective expert witness requires specific skills that convey confidence, credibility and authority. Learn how to combine these aspects, with a command of the courtroom, during the AICPA Expert Witness Skills Workshop. The workshop sessions go beyond the typical classroom lecture, so you can participate in a real-life courtroom atmosphere. With seating limited to just 36 participants and almost a 1:1 student-to-faculty ratio, it’s the ideal environment in which to practise your presentation and communications to experts, lawyers and judges, receive personalized feedback and take those skills to the next level.
