An essential book to assist litigators, whether experienced or neophytes, to navigate through the intricacies of all the issues of experts whether for trial, mediation, and administrative forums.
Dan Bruch, Partner - Swartz Campbell LLC
As a trial lawyer who has tried cases for 35 years in many states, I believe this is the resource on expert witnesses that all litigators must have on their desks and in their briefcases. The format of relevant questions and then answers with cites to sources makes this a smart and effective comprehensive guide.
