"The Expert Witness: A Manual For Experts" Robert J. Crawford, 1st Books Library, U.S.A., 1998 & 2001. ISBN number 0-75960-996-9, SC 180 pgs. Glossary 21 pgs., 9 "x 6".
This book begins with a 1 page Preface and 9 page Introduction on why this book was written and the source of its contents.
Author Crawford has practiced civil and structural engineering and working on building designs for 40 years; and, he serves as expert witness in litigations in the construction industry for 25 years. From that experience he gleaned a wealth of information he then set forth in print to compile "The Expert Witness", an easy to read compendium he thoughtfully divided into 10 chapters which covers the A to Z of establishing a remuneratively rewarding side business productively with Attorneys for litigation.
Crawford covers relationship of Expert Witness to their clients, Attorneys; the scope of assignments; dress codes and conduct; and preparation of reports whether for Mediation, Arbitration (binding & non-binding) or Court Trials (Judiciary or Jury) - giving emphasis on accuracy and completeness by visiting the site scene; using photo-documentation; a concise writing style; and avoidance of unneeded "technical" jargon; and, importantly, reviewing their reports thoroughly and in timely fashion with their Attorney-Clients prior to settlement. The author's stereotyping of practicing attorneys behavior is both humorous as well as informative. Fee schedules, distinctions between Expert and Percipient Witnesses, and an outlining of a Trial Court Proceeding are discussed.
The author concludes with a helpful glossary of legal terminologies, mostly Latin phraseologies. This manual has just enough repetition/duplicity in narration as to be helpful reiteration without being rambling or effusive. The book is well written and forms the basis for its popularity in teaching institutions.
