ABSTRACT
An.expert’s.obligation.does.not. stop.when. the.verdict. is.given.by. the. judge.or. jury,.or.even.if.the.judge.dismisses.the.suit.(summary.judgment)..There.are.many. details.yet.to.be.completed.
A.scientist’s.or.engineer’s.future.as.an.expert.witness.depends.on.a.number.of. factors..The.relationship.with.the.attorney.is.important,.and.this.depends.upon.the. expert’s.performance.during.the.preparation.of.the.case.and.at.the.trial..Finally,. much.depends.now.on.the.expert’s.willingness.to.be.subjected.to.the.tribulations. of.a.trial.again,.to.an.opposing.counsel.who.may.be.abusive,.and.to.a.judge.who. may.be.unsympathetic.
