Round Table Group’s Expert Witness Club Featured in Attorney at Law Magazine
National Legal Publication Highlights the Club's Mission to Develop Experts Into Effective Expert Witnesses
Chicago, IL — Round Table Group’s Expert Witness Club was featured in Attorney at Law Magazine, in a feature exploring the Club’s approach to closing a long-standing gap in the legal industry: helping subject matter experts become effective expert witnesses.
The piece examines a distinction at the center of the Club’s mission: being a great expert and being a great expert witness are not the same thing, and most experts have had no structured way to learn the latter. The U.S. expert witness consulting sector is approaching $800 million in annual revenue, and experts appear in some form in roughly eight out of ten U.S. trials, yet almost no organization has been devoted to developing experts into strong witnesses.
“For more than 30 years, we’ve watched expert witnesses shape the outcome of the most important disputes in the world, often without any real professional training to support their growth. Being a great expert is not the same as being an extraordinary expert witness,” said Russ Rosenzweig, CEO, Round Table Group. “The Expert Witness Club is our answer to that gap: a permanent home for serious experts who want to get better, sharper, and more effective as expert witnesses.”
The article details how the Club addresses that gap through live attorney- and expert-led programming, a growing resource library, and an emphasis on peer connection among members, helping experts refine everything from CV positioning and report writing to deposition preparation and cross-examination readiness. It also highlights the Club’s relevance to attorneys directly, noting that experts who engage with the Club arrive at deposition or trial already familiar with the rhythms of cross-examination and the expectations of today’s litigators.
Where Round Table Group has spent more than three decades helping attorneys find the right expert, the Expert Witness Club supports experts earlier, at the point of skill-building rather than at the point of selection.
The Expert Witness Club is actively welcoming new members and faculty. Experts interested in joining, and attorneys interested in serving as faculty or integrating the Club into associate training and mock trial programs, are invited to visit expertwitnessclub.com for more information.
