The expert witnesses have been involved in this activity for an average of 11.9 years, with the longest at 39 years, and the least at less than 1 year. They testify in court an average of 3.7 times per year. They appear at depositions an average of 8.4 times per year. Thirty-one of 57 experts report expecting to increase the amount of expert witness work in the next year, while 26 expect their volume to remain the same.

The survey asked each respondent to provide a one or two word description of their speciality. There's lots of related items here, so look around.
