SUMMARY:Webinar: Working with and Challenging Expert Witnesses
DESCRIPTION:Panelists will discuss the legal standards for admissible expert testimony\, practical tips for working with a scientific expert in science based cases\, and strategies for why\, when\, and how to challenge the opinions of an opposing expert. Mr. Jacobs will discuss the approaches an attorney may pursue in Patent litigation and other Science Based cases. In patent cases\, trials were often handled by litigation attorneys in the beginning and only after creation of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit did cases begin to be handled by science-educated attorneys.  Mr. Jacobs saw cases where each side had well qualified experts and rarely was there a “Daubert” challenge. Rather experts were challenged on their scientific analyses. Mr. Michel’s experience is quite different\, and his cases involved frequent “Daubert’ challenge for a variety of strategic reasons\, particularly challenges to quasi-scientific\, social science\, and non-scientific experts.  How to use the economic analysis of the other side to help you select one or more experts\, and why you might hire more than one will be discussed. Also\, the difference between testifying experts and consulting experts will be explored\, along with the strategy of when and why to employ them. \nPresented by the Senior Lawyers Division and the Younger Lawyers Division. \n\nAbout the Presenters\nAlbert Jacobs\, Jr.\, Chair of Senior Lawyer’s Division of the FBA\, Albert Jacobs PLLC\nWith more than 40 years of experience in every phase of Patent Law\, Mr. Jacobs has spent the last 30 years litigating Biotech\, Pharmaceutical\, and Medical Device Patents\, for multinational companies both before the Federal District Courts\, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) and the International Trade Commission (ITC).
