Description
Focusing on the newer concepts and techniques engendered by a spate of recent forensic discipline cases, this two hour lecture examines how cross-examination can be used to either prohibit forensic expert testimony and/or limit the conclusions that an expert may testify to under oath. The program includes a discussion of the particular cognitive biases that may and can affect judges' decision making processes with an emphasis on adapting cross-examination to lessening the impact of cognitive bias.
