Expert Witnessing

This book presents legal survival strategies needed by expert witnesses in all fields by addressing the impact of the recent rulings regarding expert testimony.

Although the linguistic study of language is well established, this important analytical tool is something new for many jurors, judges, attorneys, and other forensic specialists dealing with both criminal and civil cases. This book provides an introduction to the field for those who need to understand what linguist-witnesses do, and aids those experts who need to talk about what they do in non-technical terms.
