More and more litigators are appointing expert witnesses to appear in court to support their client's case but many do not follow up the appointment by preparing the expert for the experience. As a result, many experts are not justifying the high costs of their service as their unfamiliarity with court procedure can let them down. Suzanne Burn has used her vast experience in training expert witnesses to produce a companion volume to The Expert Witness in Court to help practitioners ensure that they get the very best from their experts, both in the run up to the trial and in the trial itself. When to appoint an expert witness, who to instruct, how much and by whom should the expert be paid - these are just some of the questions answered in this book. Experts often have a lot more to contribute than litigators realise; much depends on the litigator's ability to utilise that contribution and this book explains how this can be achieved.

The use of expert witnesses in court cases is growing at a rapid rate. However, unlike legal practitioners, most experts have no experience or formal training in court procedure and are unprepared for the rigours of cross-examination. Consequently, although they may know their subject very well, they may not be able to put it across in a manner that a jury will understand. Their presentation may also leave them open to being discredited by examining counsel. The second edition has been updated mainly to cover Lord Woolf's civil justice reforms and the Civil Procedure Rules. The rules and procedures alone radically change the legal context in which experts are working in civil cases. Bond Solon Training run courses to train expert witnesses in court techniques that will ensure that the full value of their experience is gained by those they are representing.

This project addressed the admissibility of expert evidence in criminal proceedings in England and Wales. Currently, too much expert opinion evidence is admitted without adequate scrutiny because no clear test is being applied to determine whether the evidence is sufficiently reliable to be admitted. Juries may therefore be reaching conclusions on the basis of unreliable evidence, as confirmed by a number of miscarriages of justice in recent years. Following consultation on a discussion paper (LCCP 190, 2009, ISDBN 9780118404655) the Commission recommends that there should be a new reliability-based admissibility test for expert evidence in criminal proceedings. The test would not need to be applied routinely or unnecessarily, but it would be applied in appropriate cases and it would result in the exclusion of unreliable expert opinion evidence. Under the test, expert opinion evidence would not be admitted unless it was adjudged to be sufficiently reliable to go before a jury. The draft Criminal Evidence (Experts) Bill published with the report (as Appendix A) sets out the admissibility test and also provides the guidance judges would need when applying the test, setting out the key reasons why an expert's opinion evidence might be unreliable. The Bill also codifies (with slight modifications) the uncontroversial aspects of the present law, so that all the admissibility requirements for expert evidence would be set out in a single Act of Parliament and carry equal authority.

Simply put, the primary role of the expert witness is to make clear and simple a complex technical or scientific issue. In practice, there are negative and positive aspects that must be considered before committing to the role. In a major case suing for big dollar amounts witnesses can expect to have their life history spread out like a roadmap for the world to see. On the other hand, finding and excavating the “smoking gun” piece of evidence can bring satisfaction far beyond any fees or hourly wage. Based on the author’s more than 30 years of experience as a successful expert witness, Expert Witnessing and Scientific Testimony: Surviving in the Courtroom demonstrates how to properly present scientific testimony and survive the onslaught of cross examination in court. Written in an engaging style, the book begins with introductory material to the world of litigation and the role and qualifications of the expert witness. It covers necessary legal protocols such as rules of evidence and procedure. Focusing on scientific testimony, the author demonstrates the use of scientific literature, presentation of testimony, and the language of lawyers. He addresses the courtroom experience with actual cases, experience, and pitfalls to illustrate procedure and strategy, cross-examination, and the exposure of personal history. Offering critical observations and judicial opinions, the book presents several exemplary civil, criminal, medical malpractice, and workers compensation cases. The author also includes his personal advice and tips on the business of expert witnessing. There is an extensive glossary of legal terms, detailed footnotes, and useful appendices summarizing code of conduct, paperwork, and examples of case reports. Offering an insider’s look at the labyrinthine world of litigation, Expert Witnessing and Scientific Testimony: Surviving in the Courtroom provides a guide for expert witnesses in today’s legal environment.
