SUMMARY:Webinar: The Difference Between Winning and Losing: How to Effectively Cross-Examine a Vocational Witness on Foundation and Methodology
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) Time Zone** \nMost cases are won or lost at step five of the sequential process. Yet\, that step rests on the testimony of the vocational witness. Effectively cross-examining vocational witnesses is the primary tool in the arsenal of a representative. Such cross-examination is based upon the foundation of the vocational witness’s testimony\, his knowledge of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (“DOT”)\, and the various resources available. In this seminar\, we will explore questions to ask\, where to probe the soft spots\, how to address the methodology of converting data from available resources to the DOT\, and how to reduce the viability of the vocational witness testimony. \nRegister Now! \nPresented by the Federal Bar Association’s Social Security Law Section \n\nPresenters\nDana W.
