As our society becomes increasingly complex, more and more attorneys and judges are turning to consultants to explain how things happen. These consultants are expert witnesses. Expert witnesses advise attorneys, judges and juries as to what happened or what should have happened in accidents and other legal cases. 18-million lawsuits are filed each year in the United States by 850,000 lawyers. Each case needs at least two expert witnesses to explain what happened or what should have happened.

Everything you need to learn about litigation consulting and everything you need to become a better expert witness, can be found in The Expert Witness Handbook.
