Overview
- Academic Directors: Eloi CLÉMENT and Laurent MARTRILLE
In addition to the professional qualifications required of any applicant seeking to be listed as an expert with a court of appeals, the role of a court-appointed expert requires an introduction to the general workings of the judicial system and to the legal procedures governing expert testimony in particular, as well as hands-on, practical training in conducting an expert assessment—from the acceptance of the assignment to the submission of the report.
This University Diploma is intended for all professionals, regardless of their field of expertise, who wish to receive training in forensic expertise, as well as for those who are already forensic experts and wish to further their training.
Objectives
The skills acquired during the University Diploma program will enable graduates to conduct expert evaluations for civil, administrative, or criminal courts. Throughout the program, students will gain a general understanding of the legal system, knowledge of the guiding principles of litigation, and familiarity with the rules of criminal, civil, and administrative procedure relevant to expert evaluations. They will be introduced to the duties and obligations of an expert witness (including tax-related responsibilities) and trained in the actual process of conducting an expert evaluation (including issuing a summons, conducting the evaluation, and drafting and submitting a report).
