  Description    
This two-day course introduces the basic concepts and strategies needed to engage in litigation valuation. It explores the scope of activities appraisers can expect in a legal action, including assessing the status of a case, developing a USPAP-compliant appraisal without preparing a written report, and understanding legal terminology and jargon. The course addresses how litigation assignments differ from lender assignments and how to market appraisal services to litigation clients. Participants work in small groups to practice effective deposition and direct testimony techniques and a mock trial with a residential case study gives them the opportunity to experience a realistic courtroom environment in which to polish their skills.

Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the general process of a lawsuit involving real property valuation
  • Understand the mechanics and strategies of a deposition and direct testimony
  • Understand the requirements to successfully communicate and defend an opinion of value in a courtroom setting
