Medical expert witnesses help the court by producing reports that paint a clinical picture of an individual at the centre of a legal case. But these reports often need thorough editing and fact-checking to ensure that they are clear, credible and compelling. This webinar offers 10 practical tips for editors working with expert witnesses to refine and polish medicolegal reports.
In this webinar, we’ll cover common issues in these reports, such as inconsistent details, dictation errors and tangled tenses. You’ll learn how to support your client’s preferred style and voice while maintaining appropriate editorial boundaries. Finally, we will discuss strategies for finding work in this niche. Designed for editors with some knowledge of the medicolegal field, this session provides real-world advice to help you deliver high-quality editorial support to medical expert witnesses.
