Law for the Expert Witness

Extensively updated and expanded to incorporate legislative and practical changes enacted since the publication of the previous edition, this third edition of \'Law for the Expert Witness\' comprehensively covers the current processes and techniques of legal procedure. Beginning with procedural issues that an expert witness would encounter in advance of the trial itself, the chapters cover legal paperwork, disclosure, depositions, discovery, and the penalties incurred due to any failure to comply with these rules. New material regarding amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is included as they concern required disclosure early in the litigation process and the disclosure of electronic information. The second section addresses evidentiary issues. Photographs and diagrams illustrate the modern physical arrangement of a courtroom and the use of exhibits and demonstration.
