The Federal Rule of Evidence (FRE 702) governs expert testimony in federal court. A witness who is qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training or education may testify in the form of an opinion or otherwise if the proponent demonstrates to the court that it is more likely than not (Concept of reasonable certainty or probability). In California Workers' Compensation litigation, the Vocational Expert must meet rules of evidence for substantial vocational evidence, requiring certain procedures and documentation consistent with supporting professional opinions. This session will discuss rules of evidence, how to meet those requirements, and how to avoid exclusion of testimony.
Speakers:
Roderick Stoneburner, M.S., ICVE, IPEC, ABVE and Frank Diaz, California Chapter - Legislative Chair
