Experts are required in cases that involve scientific evidence.
Civil and criminal cases that involve DNA evidence, engineering evidence, fiber analysis, medical standards, etc. normally involve the use of experts to explain the technical information that is normally beyond the jury or judge’s experience. The courts have placed certain requirements on who can qualify as an expert and whether or not the expert’s testimony will be presented to the trier of fact. As such, counsel will want to select a qualified individual who can meet and exceed standards for expertise. Given that both sides will be presenting competing expert views on issues raised in the case, it’s paramount that the expert’s credentials can withstand challenge and that his or her testimony will withstand the gatekeeping function performed by the judge under Daubert and its progeny.
