 Learning Objectives
 

Learning Objectives:

  • Witness  first-hand the process in which a medical malpractice trial is conducted.

  • Observe the techniques used by plaintiff's attorneys and defense attorneys to present their respective client's case in the most favorable light possible. 

  • Watch how a judge officiates over a malpractice trial.

  • Learn how a jury of laypeople perceives radiologic evidence and how it interprets the standard of care against which radiologist is measured.

  • Understand how the three main parties in a malpractice trial—the judge, the attorney for the plaintiff, and the attorney for the defense—view and exercise their unique roles in malpractice litigation. 

  • Appreciate the complexity of the legal process, and the personal and financial impact the process exerts on injured patients and radiologists against whom allegations of malpractice are alleged.

  • Watch how expert radiology witnesses testify on direct examination by the attorney who retained them, and how the adversary attorney attempts to discredit or impeach their testimony. 

  • Become more knowledgable and thus better prepared to participate in the legal process if forced to do so by being a party in malpractice litigation, or if volunteered to do so as an expert witness.
