Lexington, KY – Dave Johnson has been asked by
the University of Kentucky’s Law School to speak on
horse evaluations at its upcoming symposium on equine law,
May 2 through 4th, 2005.
Mr.
Johnson will be speaking on the attorney’s first need
of actually finding the right expert appraiser to evaluate
the situations in their case. In addition, the lawyer’s
search must take into account the expert’s abilities
at communicating thoughts to a jury.
The attorney, who may or may not know much about the horse
business, must rely on the “expert/appraiser”
to aid the case to victory; not easily done with someone
not totally familiar with the case specifics and industry
in general. Also important, are the expert’s abilities
to deal directly with the legal profession in a knowing
way.
While the topic is quite broad, Mr. Johnson intends to speak
about the prioritized list of items necessary to qualify
the lawyer’s expert during voir dire.
La Vegas, NV will be this year’s home for the
2005 Budweiser FEI World Cup Finals in both Show Jumping
and Dressage to be held April 20 through 24.
NAES, represented by its CEO, Dave Johnson his wife
and guests, will be on hand to congratulate the winners
and to enjoy the Vegas hospitality.
A color congratulatory advertisement from NAES will be a
noticeable addition to this year’s Show Program.
Mr. Johnson stated his company’s feelings about the
event earlier this week saying, “We feel strongly
that the wholesome notoriety this event creates is good
for both the aspiring equestrian and the general public,
awed by the physical abilities of the horses.”
