Books on being an expert witness
and Books on being an attorney using an expert witness.
Because of Bucklin's experience presenting evidence in court, he is sometimes
asked by experts who are first-time witnesses, for tips on writing a report,
or testifying in a depositions or trial. The question is "What should I do
or write or say to improve my effectiveness as a court testimony expert?"
To answer those FAQ --- if you are an expert witness or a lawyer,
there are a number of books and tools that can we recommend.
Your expert opinion is only as strong as: your expert report, plus
your expert witness testimony in court. Read these to find out what to
expect and what do do.
(If you are a lawyer retaining an expert, you also should read at least one
of these.)

Lawyers Weekly USA
"This concise, well-organized book covers witness
credibility, preparation, direct and cross-examination, depositions,
discovery and ethics. Lubet's chapters on cross-examination and deposition
testimony are especially helpful in preparing an expert to withstand an
assault by the other side's lawyer." |

Stanley Brodsky's Testifying in
Court deals with mastering the psychological and emotional experience of
being in court. It does not deal with rules of evidence or procedure. It
is a book to help an expert witness feel comfortable that he/she
knows the experience of courtroom testimony. |

In the courtroom, interaction between adversarial parties
can determine the outcome of lawsuits -- and impact an organization's
public image and bottom line. The Effective Expert Witness delivers proven
tactics that illustrate how to (1) analyze crises and respond
appropriately, (2) prepare and eventually present effective responses, and
(3) relate to juries and professional interrogators. A key feature of the
book is information on the responsibilities of the expert witness in the
judicial environment |
