CPD Training for Family Law Professionals
In family law proceedings, child care cases, and FDAC matters, expert witness reports often play a decisive role. Whether the evidence relates to drug and alcohol testing or DNA analysis, the ability to interpret and critically assess expert findings is essential to achieving fair and robust outcomes.
At the recent International Child Law Conference in Jersey, there was clear recognition that expert reports can be complex and that more focused training is needed to interpret them with confidence. This CPD session from AttoLife is designed specifically for family law solicitors and Local Authority teams, providing a structured approach to understanding expert evidence in sensitive legal contexts.
The session is led by AttoLife’s expert witness, Dr Salah Breidi, who guides attendees through how expert reports are constructed, how conclusions are reached, and how to assess their strength and limitations. There is also an opportunity to raise questions relating to current or past cases.
