ABSTRACT
Fees are sometimes a touchy subject, which makes the jury aware of just how costly the legal system is to them as individuals and society in general. I’ve oen pondered about how the jury would interpret the fee structures charged by experts in light of typical salaries earned by most jurors. ese fears are apparently unfounded as most media-aware jurors are very knowledgeable about professional salaries and litigation costs. In addition, as the trial progresses, this same question about fees will be asked of the expert witnesses on both sides and responded to under penalty of perjury. Again, the truth is the truth, and what you are paid is a matter of the court record.
