Written by a former trial lawyer turned professor, this book is for professionals who may find themselves participating (voluntarily or involuntarily) in the legal system as expert witnesses. It discusses the practical aspects of pre-trial discovery and the Rules of Evidence. Most of the principles are illustrated using actual cases decided by various courts. The book also includes helpful hints and appendices that contain the texts of the relevant Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Federal Rules of Evidence. Law for the Expert Witness is an excellent primer for chemists, medical professionals, civil engineers, environmental toxicologists, and other individuals who face the possibility of someday being called to the stand as an expert witness. It is also an excellent book for lawyers to give to the experts they work with to prepare for cases.
