Sep 3, 2026: Daubert is not Just a Shield - Webinar with Andy Delaney

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 18:19 -0500

Special TLC 1-hour Webinar (lecture-format) by Andy Delaney. Daubert is not just a shield; it is a sword. TLC-eligible plaintiff and criminal defense lawyers do not have to sit back and wait for the usual defense or prosecution Daubert strike. The same gatekeeping rules that have been used for years to attack our experts apply with equal force to theirs. By mastering Daubert and its progeny (often codified in Rule 702), you can flip the script: expose result‑driven opinions, analytical gaps, junk methodologies, and experts wandering outside their lane, then move to exclude or tightly limit that testimony before a jury ever hears it. When the motion lands, the tables turn—suddenly the hospital has no causation expert, or the state’s star forensic witness is sidelined or boxed into a tiny corner. This webinar will focus on how TLC‑style story, cross, and emotional truth combine with Daubert’s technical framework to take away the other side’s “science” and put you in the strongest possible trial position.
