David A. Sonenshein, professor of law at the Temple University School of Law, will present a lecture on working with expert witnesses at 4 p.m. Thursday, March 11, in Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium at the Wayne State University Law School. The lecture, titled "The New World of the Expert Witness: How Recent Changes in the Federal Rules of Evidence Affect Litigators," is the 20th in the annual I. Goodman Cohen Lecture in Trial Advocacy series at the law school.

The seminar is an excellent opportunity for students, faculty, trial practitioners and judges to learn about recent changes in federal rules of evidence that affect the use of expert witnesses.

Sonenshein teaches courses in civil procedure, criminal procedure, evidence and trial advocacy at Temple. Highly regarded as a lecturer on evidence for the federal judiciary, he regularly presents seminars for newly appointed judges, and he conducts programs and training seminars across the country for various circuit courts.

For several years, he also has taught classes in evidence at the Federal Judicial Center in Washington, D.C., in the new judges school.

U.S. District Judge Nancy G. Edmunds participated in one of Sonenshein's seminars after her appointment to the federal bench. "He is an engaging and entertaining teacher, with a lot of practical suggestions," she observed. "This lecture is a wonderful opportunity for students, faculty, and the legal profession in general."

The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call the WSU Law School at (313) 577-4157.
