This book represents the collected wisdom of experienced litigators who provide a step-by-step guide to researching, retaining, and working with an expert witness.

The chapters cast light on pitfalls to be avoided and proactive solutions to be followed, and include an important discussion of the ethics of working with expert witnesses; the use of experts in state courts; preparing your experts for trial; problems and opportunities associated with particular substantive areas of expertise; and problems and opportunities associated with specific areas of the law.
