Workshop: Expert opinion as evidence (from the lawyer´s poin of view)

We have prepared a seminar in which we will explain the compulsory procedure of the expert to attorneys and law clerks. Participants will undergo practical training in which they will acquire the ability to recognize the deficiencies of an expert’s report that prevent its reviewability.

The seminar will be led by a member of our Institute, Dr. Jiří Závora, the author of the expert’s procedure in the new regulation of expert activities.

 

Together with the Faculty of Civil Engineering at Brno University of Technology, we have produced a podcast miniseries dedicated to new candidates for the expert stamp. The podcast features 4 members or chairmen of the examination committees, doc. Zdeněk Dufek, doc. Tomáš Krabec, Dr. Lukáš Dřínovský and a member of our institute, Dr. Jiří Závora, who is the author of the new expert witness procedure. The expert procedure is intended to improve the reviewability of expert reports. All four experts are prominent personalities in the field of Czech expert witnessing with unique experience.

You can already listen to the first episode on Spotify and YouTube.
