I strongly recommend this text. This manual is indeed a comprehensive work on expert witnessing. Carefully planned and mapped out, this manual provides examples and answers to problems faced by expert witnesses. It walks the reader through the fundamentals of a lawsuit, while giving thorough background in areas such as evidence, qualifications, and expert opinions. This well written book contains a wealth of information for forensic examiners of all levels of expertise.
Subjects are easy to locate, the discussion is easy to understand, and case law often follows.
In subsequent chapters the author discusses attorney work privilege, its relationship to expert findings, and limits imposed on expert discovery. The answer and supporting case law may be a surprise. The chapter on evidence discussed the Federal Rules with regard to expert testimony, including credibility and impeachment issues. Other chapters include discussions on expert qualifications, bulletproofing a CV, and rendering opinions. An important part of an expert's job is to render a written report setting forth the findings, conclusions and opinion.
