Surveyors often find themselves in legal proceedings or even in court – hopefully as an expert and not a defendant!  This program explores a wide variety of related topics including how to avoid claims and subsequently landing in court, and the many aspects and considerations of being an expert witness such as preparing a Rule 26 Expert Report, what to expect in depositions, what the rules of evidence and civil procedure are, and how to deal with the client and attorney through the process.  As a part of the program, we will review the format and content of several expert reports.
