An expert witness or professional witness is an expert, who by virtue of education, training, skill, or experience, is believed to have expertise and specialised knowledge in a particular subject beyond that of the average person, sufficient that others may officially and legally rely upon the witness's specialized (scientific, technical or other) opinion about an evidence or fact issue within the scope of his expertise, referred to as the expert opinion, as an assistance to the fact-finder. Expert witnesses may also deliver expert evidence about facts from the domain of their expertise. At times, their testimony may be rebutted with a learned treatise, sometimes to the detriment of their reputations. In Scots Law, Davie v Magistrates of Edinburgh (1953) provides authority that where a witness has particular knowledge or skills in an area being examined by the court, and has been called to court in order to elaborate on that area for the benefit of the court, that witness may give evidence of his opinion on that area.

Q. If an expert witness report has been done without the consent of the courts/judge can it been acceptable,? and can it be changed once it has been handed in to the courts, Asked by bidar - Sun Mar 8 12:46:59 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Theoretically [because anything is what the Judge says it is or isn't], IF an individual meets the test of an Expert, and IF the report is HIS, and not someone else's work, THEN it should be admissible. You mention, "...without the consent of the courts/judge..." Normally, Expert Reports of investigation, conclusions, and/or opinion are done for the Experts employer, the Attorney, and are done well before decisions to go to trial, and therefore the courts or the Judge have no opportunity to consent or not. Yes, an Expert Witness can amend his report, BUT he/she had better be prepared to be "raked over the coals" by the opposing counsel during cross examination. Therefore, his changes and reasons had better be sound, and supportable. … [cont.] Answered by johnny3h - Sun Mar 8 13:06:00 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Expert Witnesses"  video.yahoo.com Wed, 03 Sep 2008 20:30:50 PDT animated demonstrative evidence.
