The Expert Expert Witness: More Maxims and Guidelines for Testifying
in Court
by Stanley L. Brodsky
Professor Brodsky's book is a fundamental text for not only experts but
also judges and all those concerned with maintaining high ethical
standards when complex scientific or professional knowledge is presented
as evidence in court. It is filled with decency and wisdom, a useful
reminder that both are essential for an adversarial legal system
to produce justice. It is also useful as a guide for the attorney
interested in working with ethical experts. By the same token, it
is a useful antidote for preventing the harassment of experts by
attorneys who, when the facts fail them, resort to ad hominem attacks.
I expect all those interested in promoting honesty and objectivity
in the courtroom will use this as a text.
