Executive Summary:
A well-written IME report is the key to a successful IME. A well-written IME report is immensely helpful to the referral source and may well lead to future referrals. A poorly written IME report can and will be used to impeach the examiner in the case at hand and future cases for years to come. Writing and Defending Your IME Report is a lively, hands-on program that features numerous interactive writing exercises and mock trial demonstrations. The mock trial demonstrations will be based on actual IME reports (with confidential information redacted) from the attendees which will be submitted in advance. Writing and Defending Your IME Report will teach you how to write more valuable and more defensible IME reports and how to avoid the most common pitfalls involved in IME report writing. Attendees will learn how to structure their IME reports so as to be resistant to cross examination. There will be ample time set aside for questions and answers.

Upon completion of this interactive workshop, you will be able to:

•Dramatically improve your IME report writing skills.

•Avoid the most common pitfalls in drafting IME reports.

•Understand the tactics attorneys use to attack an IME report and learn how to protect and defend against each of these
