ABSTRACT
Your ¤rst duties are to explore the technical issues and to educate the lawyer. Recognize that the issues confronting you and the attorney with whom you are working are never black and white. Experts tend to gravitate to one point of view and negate dissenting opinions. Lawyers, on the other hand, live in a world of gray, where facts can be toned and shi¦ed into various points of view. Be open to the lawyer’s perceptions, and see how he or she construes the facts di¡erently than you do.
