Synopsis

Trial lawyers must confront many issues when dealing with experts. Some of those issues include: skepticism from the court; high cost for the client; and resentful jurors--a result of arrogant-sounding experts. The trial lawyer must deal with these problems, resolve them, and encourage the court and jurors to welcome the experts as helpful, credible, admissible, and persuasive. Effective Expert Testimony shows you how and examines the rules of evidence and ethics that govern the relationship of experts to lawyers, juries, and courts. Appendices are included for selected Federal Rules of Evidence, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Supreme Court Cases and Court of Appeals Cases.
