Joseph M. WhiteRecently, shareholder Joseph M. White published an article in the Practical Litigator entitled "A Goal without A Plan Is Just A Wish, Effective Cross Examination of Expert Witnesses."

The Practical Litigator is a critically acclaimed nationally circulated periodical published by the American Law Institute-American Bar Association. Its publisher says about it: "Each issue ... contains anywhere from five to eight short articles by ... experienced attorneys. They offer their insights into every possible aspect of litigation practice. More importantly, because they are busy, just like you, they won't waste your time with a lot of string cites and theory. They tell you what the problem is, and how to solve it, in crisp, clear ways that you can immediately put to use in your own practice."

In his article, Mr. White discusses how to use expert witness interrogatories, follow-up discovery, research the expert's prior testimony and publications, how to conduct a discovery deposition of the expert, strategize the attack, and offers sample questions for the most crucial parts of the cross-examination. Mr. White's article was initially presented and was well received at an American Bar Association seminar in Philadelphia.
