This course is designed to provide the practicing real estate appraiser with an understanding of the opportunities available in litigation support assignments. Additionally, it will supply the background for the appraiser to provide a work product and testimony necessary to assist the Trier of Fact in a civil case to reach a just and equitable decision. The student will be informed about the structure of a civil trial, the rules of evidence, and USPAP requirements, and will gain an understanding of the mechanics of a civil trial. The course also will provide meaningful advice about how the appraiser can present credible testimony in deposition and trial that will both educate the court and withstand the adversarial process of cross examination. Finally, the course will outline the various options appraisers have to expand their appraisal practice to include the financially rewarding litigation support services in their appraisal practice.

This course totally blew my expectations out of the water! I've taken most of my QE elsewhere and I needed my last elective classes and McKissock was (honestly) the last place I looked. I spent nearly 27 hours on this class, but if you're out there really wanting to learn and know as much as you possibly can - without EVER being in a courtroom, then this is the PERFECT course for you. I believe the instructor went out and found EVERY article relating to being an appraiser expert witness that has ever been written! Seriously everything you could possibley want to know. Lots of reading, but I've never taken a class that has left me feeling this confident.

I think that this course was very well thought out. The topic gave a brief, but in depth look into the appraisers role in litigation. It touched on many topics that a first time witness may not have had prior knowledge of without a proper teacher. It was easy to understand, and gave a lot of great tips that I have written down and will apply in the future as I continue in my career. Thank you.

Good course, but some of the questions suggested answers that I am fairly certain were not the best answers, or were not consistent with the course content. I might recommend that the questions and answers be reviewed for accuracy.
