Description

A Litigator's Guide to Expert Witnesses 2nd Edition Cecil C Kuhne III ISBN 9781641054010

The admission of expert witness testimony remains one of the most contested, consequential, and dynamic aspects of modern litigation. Courts continue to wrestle with the challenge of ensuring that expert testimony is reliable and relevant without encroaching on the jury’s role in evaluating credibility. There is little indication that these tensions will diminish anytime soon.

The stakes could not be higher. Countless cases have been won or lost based solely on the effectiveness of an expert witness, and many disputes settle before trial once a party recognizes the strength of the opposing expert. While the value of persuasive expert testimony at trial is well understood, experts also play a critical role in the early stages of litigation—evaluating evidence, shaping trial strategy, identifying key documents, and supporting overall case preparation.

Attorneys who delay retaining an expert until drafting witness lists or responding to discovery often do so at great cost. In all but the most routine matters, identifying and engaging the right expert early is essential to presenting a case as persuasively and effectively as possible.

A Litigator’s Guide to Expert Witnesses, Second Edition takes a practical, structured approach to working with expert witnesses. Rather than serving as a dense academic treatise, the book is designed as a clear and accessible reference tool. The first half focuses on the legal framework governing expert testimony. Chapters 1 and 2 provide a general overview of the role of experts in litigation, while Chapters 3 through 5 examine key Supreme Court decisions, discovery obligations, and evidentiary rules that shape the use and admissibility of expert witness testimony.
