Thomson West Publishes New Expert Witness Guide for Attorneys

The impact an expert witness can have on the outcome of a trial cannot be understated. It is also readily apparent that the strategy behind the use of expert wintesses has become much more complex. Accordingly, Thomson West has published a new guide, entitled Expert Witnesses in Civil Trials: Effective Preparation and Presentation, 2007-2008 Edition, to help a practitioner wade through the new rules and procedures. According to Thomson West, the guide "offers a logical and straightforward approach to the use of substantive, technical, strategic, and tactical considerations for successfully using expert witnesses in all types of civil litigation."
