Sound and Fury Signifying Something: Managing Expert Testimony in Arbitration

June 17, 2026

This virtual CLE-accredited event was free for CPR's Panel of Distinguished Neutrals. 

In arbitration, expert witnesses can significantly influence the outcome of a case, but presenting them effectively requires a different playbook than litigation. In this program, experienced arbitrators offered practical guidance on every stage of the expert witness process, including preparing experts to testify, presenting testimony persuasively, and managing witnesses and their testimony. Whether attendees were advocates, in-house counsel, or sitting arbitrators, they came away with actionable strategies grounded in real arbitration practice.
