Learn how to evaluate an expert witness’ background to determine if they are a suitable for your case.
At times, both complex and simple litigation requires the use of an expert to explain technical aspects of the underlying subject of the case to the fact finder. In such cases, you will either need to hire an expert, or in the alternative, defend against an opponent’s expert. An important consideration in working with an expert is that his or her testimony is scientifically valid and meets admissibility standards as evidence. This topic will examine the sources for identifying potential experts and discuss strategies for evaluating their suitability for a particular case. You will also examine available tools, strategies and best practices for finding and evaluating the prior testimony of experts on both sides of a legal issue.
