Your staff will be trained to support client education using our “Teach The Teacher™” network approaches employing cost effective technologies including distance learning and computer-based instruction (CBI).  The materials developed and used will be educationally sound and effective for the participants.

Attorneys will be educated to understand complex technical:

What constitutes an appropriate diagnostic evaluation? 

What criteria are necessary for the institution of remediation?

How do you evaluate the results of remediation?

and scientific issues:

Is there a relationship even if it is only temporal? 

Is there an accepted causal relationship or a cause-and-effect relationship? 

What documented evidence exists to support this relationship in the specific case or class situation?

Are there qualified expert(s) to support the contention(s)? 

Can this evidence withstand scrutiny?

Our educational resources network is available to consult and develop problem solving and strategies for this process. We go beyond expert witnesses in creating the litigation advantage.
