Synopsis

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. Mark Solon, an experienced solicitor/advocate, runs 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 book is based on the course materials and content and is an invaluable guide for anyone appearing in court as an expert witness.
