Battle of the Experts 2022

SHOWDOWN OF SOUTH BEACH
PRODUCED BY PETER HECHT

DECEMBER 7-8, 2022  |  SOUCH BEACH, MIAMI
Please join us at our upcoming CLE event “Battle of the Experts” on December 7th and 8th at The W South Beach in Miami, FL. The two-day CLE program will feature interactive micro-panel exercises involving teams of outside counsel, in-house counsel, claims executives and audience members working together alongside real life experts. Micro panels will work on preparing their moderators and experts for direct examination role plays, and outside counsel moderators and experts will then go head to head in a “Battle of the Experts” in front of a judge and jury! As always, Magna will provide the facts of a case using audiovisuals and special effects as well as sessions to provide techniques and best practices for successful expert witness prep.

The program is scheduled to begin on December 7th at 2pm, followed by a cocktail hour and dinner. The next day, Thursday, we will continue panels in the morning and wrap up the seminar at 12:30pm. An organized golf outing will begin at 1pm and a closing reception will be held at 6pm.
