Why You Should Attend:

As any attorney, financial expert, or fan of court-room television will tell you, no case can be tried without evidence. In "Support Your Case: Discovery and Evidence," BVR's Online Symposium on Litigation and Economic Damages continues with an in-depth look at the processes by which evidence is gathered and admitted to the U.S. court system. Though variations exist across jurisdictions, attorney Jonathan Dunitz and expert appraiser Nancy Fannon, both series curators, will cover what every financial expert needs to know when working on an assignment bound for a litigation setting.
