Court Witness: Do’s & Don’ts
October 7th, 2008 by admin
The prefix “expert” is crucial when locating an expert court witness. Find a court witness with a proven background in the areas required for the case, and they will bring succinct information to your argument. Check the witness’ background as an expert to be sure he is qualified in the field required. This can also help you discover his or her qualities, and will help avoid any major surprises prior to your day in court. For instance, both sides may have communicated with the same court witness. Or, the expert could have already taken a view in a similar or prior case, which may be unhelpful in your client’s case. Also, ask to be sure the witness will accept instructions from both defendants and claimants. Many courts do not favor one-sided experts, and will choose one with a reputation of even-handedness.
