According to the Federal Rules of Evidence, an expert witness is
anyone who can assist the trier of fact (the jury) in understanding any
issue in dispute at trial. The witness’ ability to give this assistance
can be derived from any specialized training, education, background,
or experience. To be effective in providing this assistance, however,
requires that the expert witness understand the true role that he or
she is to play both before and at the trial. This seminar will address
the critical issues that every person who may be, has been, or is, an
expert witness must understand to assist both the attorney and the
product manufacturer, regardless of which side the expert serves.
