polaris office manualCalled upon to educate courtroom decision makers, the expert witness provides testimony that is critical to achieving intelligent and just verdicts. Few judges and jury members possess the knowledge base needed to adequately understand complexities of human behavior as they relate to acts of interpersonal violence. With this vital insight, courts can more accurately assess and weigh evidence, leading to more informed and appropriate decisions. Timely and accessible, The Preparation and Presentation of Expert Testimony clearly defines the need for and role of expert witnesses in litigation. Author Paul Stern demystifies the process while providing practical, stepwise guidance for those who want to prepare and present expert testimony with confidence and clarity. Beginning with discussions of the who, what, and why of expert testimony, the book also defines the role of the expert, including ethical and professional issues that may arise. Filled with tips, techniques, and case examples, chapters also show expert witnesses and attorneys how to prepare for court, how to present testimony in the most convincing and credible manner possible, how to deal with cross-examination, and how to cross-examine irresponsible expert witnesses. Anyone who may be called upon to testify--or participate in court in any way--in cases of interpersonal violence will find this book an invaluable resource. In particular, mental health professionals, medical personnel, scientists, investigators, attorneys, and judges will want to use the book to prepare themselves for the rigors involved in every aspect of expert testimony.

He focuses on the omission from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health's new handbook, Child Protection Companion, of research evidence gathered by two controversial paediatricians—David Southall and Sir Roy Meadow. 1 A well developed evidence base exists for child abuse medicine that is suitable for use in litigation for child protection. The published evidence on the abuse and neglect of children begins with a descriptive article by Tardieu (the father of forensic medicine) in 1860. 2 He pointed out how medical conditions that he had observed in 32 children defined the abusive nature of the events that had occurred. In 1962 Kempe and colleagues reiterated that doctors could and should infer abuse on the basis of certain medical findings of injury. The “battered child syndrome” that they defined is still a valid concept based on observational research. 3 The medical consequences of neglect have been noted since the 1960s, and the extensive medical assessment of sexual abuse cases began in the 1970s. 4 The American Board of Pediatrics has recently approved the definition of the new subspecialty of child abuse paediatrics. In describing this development, Block and Palusci 5 note that the knowledge and evidence base on child abuse is similar to that of other accredited medical specialties. PubMed contains more than 16 000 citations for child abuse and a similar number for neglect. Like the medical definitions of breast cancer, AIDS, myocardial infarction, and many other disorders, those of medical conditions resulting from child abuse are based first on observations of patients—initially descriptions of individual cases that are then supplemented by defined case series. Block and Palusci also point out that the forensic analyses associated with medical work in child abuse make up an important component of the evidence base. In the United States, practitioners in child abuse medicine regularly provide expert testimony to the courts during adversarial litigation. In the United Kingdom the risks of testifying that a child has been abused have become formidable, and many doctors are reluctant to testify. 6 The evidence base contains work that uses many scientific methods in addition to the observation of cases. Useful tools include confidential surveys of adults' childhood histories, surveys of adults' admitted violent and sexual behaviours with children, and confessions. Overt and covert video surveillance of adults' behaviour with children has recorded astonishing and incontrovertible abuse. Further evidence has come from medical knowledge about the healing of injuries of known causes and the medical documentation of damage that results from reliably observed injury events. Research evidence on prevention and treatment is important but has prompted little attention from lawyers. It is the work that underpins the definitions of different kinds of abuse that has generated the political and personal attacks on responsible expert witnesses such as Southall and Meadow. The identification of Munchausen syndrome by proxy, the suffocation of infants and young children, and the shaken baby syndrome have particularly sparked great controversy recently in the United Kingdom. Consensus statements and many reviews in the English language literature support the existence and general definitions of these conditions. 7 - 9 Yet each case of suspected abuse is unique, and the applicability of the evidence base will always differ from case to case. This makes the testimony of doctors who specialise in the study of child abuse particularly valuable and important. Without such testimony from expert witnesses children may be unprotected from abuse. The courts seek scientific reliability in expert testimony. The definition of science is “the state of knowing,” and reliable “knowing” usually requires the reproducibility of observations. Court processes have a powerful influence on the presentation of expert evidence. Lawyers ask the questions and doctors give answers. Evidence may be included or excluded, emphasised or minimised, depending on how the lawyers manage it. The outcomes of adversarial trials are more dependent on the capabilities of the litigators than on the quality of the available medical evidence base. Nevertheless, not all medical testimony is responsible and reliable. The problem of irresponsible medical testimony in the courts 10, 11 has been around for decades. In the United Kingdom, expert witness are now advised to follow the “3 Rs” of good practice: record (everything they do from the start of the case), retain (the records until the prosecution says they can be destroyed), and reveal (the records to the prosecution). 12 In addition, peer review of expert testimony may help to regulate the quality of expert testimony. The child abuse medical evidence base is robust and thriving, but, like the evidence base for AIDS or breast cancer, is a long way from perfect or complete. With reasonable public support, doctors practising child abuse medicine will continue to develop the evidence and to use it in court to protect children. To do so, however, doctors everywhere require the sort of protections generally provided by the laws on child abuse reporting and witness immunity that prevail in the United States rather than those in the United Kingdom.

Forgot your user name or password? Expert evidence is frequently of critical importance in proceedings relating to children, and there are cases in which it is determinative. Given the importance of the outcome of court proceedings for the child, and bearing in mind that judges have no medical training or specialist medical expertise, the dependence of the court on the skill, knowledge, and above all the professional and intellectual integrity of the expert witness cannot be overemphasised. The ethos of the Children Act 1989 has led since its implementation in October 1991 to a substantial volume of judge made law on the subject of expert evidence. There is not space to examine it all in this article. 2 What I hope to achieve is to explain the underlying judicial thinking, and to set out the practical framework within which we expect experts to operate. The first is that civil proceedings relating to children are confidential. 3 The second is that such proceedings are non-adversarial, 4 and the third is that the court has a duty imposed upon it by the Children Act to avoid delay 5 and to be proactive in timetabling cases so that they are heard without delay. 6 The advocate who asks for permission to instruct an expert must satisfy the court of the need for expert evidence of the type sought; and since the court is also likely to be timetabling the case when it considers the question of expert evidence, advocates are encouraged both to identify and consult the expert concerned at the earliest possible stage in the case to ensure that he or she will be able to undertake the work within the time scale likely to be allotted by the court. It does not mean that difficult issues of fact which have to resolved by rigorous investigation and detailed cross examination do not arise in proceedings relating to children. What it means is that the welfare of the child is the court’s paramount consideration and that the duty of the court is to reach a decision which is in the best interests of the child concerned, as opposed to a result which favours a particular party to the proceedings. 8 The thinking behind it is, of course, straightforward.Whatever the source of the instructions, the witness is reporting to the court in order to assist the court to reach a decision which is in the best interests of the child. The primary duty is not owed to the party commissioning the report. Indeed, in cases in which the party who has commissioned the report chooses not to rely upon it, an expert may be called by one of the other parties, or by the court. 11 Expert witnesses are thus given the freedom to write wholly objective reports—and are expected by the judges to do so—in the certain knowledge that their opinions will be made known to the judge in any event and, of course, shown to and discussed with their colleagues. In particular, the experts will not only be encouraged to meet in order to identify areas of agreement and disagreement; it may well be a condition of their appointment that they do so. 12 If logistics prevent face to face meetings, then telephone calls and exchanges of correspondence by fax are encouraged. The whole objective is to define and if possible to limit the issues upon which the court has to adjudicate. In some cases the areas of medical disagreement may prove to be either non-existent or so limited that it becomes unnecessary for any of the experts to attend to give evidence. In other cases, identification of the areas of agreement and disagreement greatly assists the court to focus on the precise issues in the case which it has to determine. The letter of instruction should always set out the context in which the expert’s opinion is sought and define carefully the specific questions the expert is being asked to address. Careful thought should be given by the commissioning solicitor to the selection of the papers to be sent to the expert with the letter of instruction, and the letter of instruction should always list the documents that are sent. 14 No doctor wishes to have to spend valuable time reading through papers that are irrelevant to the opinion which he or she is being asked to give. On the other hand, a doctor who ventures an opinion on inadequate material is taking a substantial risk that his or her opinion may be unsound. Relevant information and documentation should always be made available. Thus, for example, doctors who have had clinical experience of the child or children outside the immediate ambit of the litigation (for example a paediatrician who has examined or treated a child before proceedings being taken) should carefully review their notes before writing a court report and ensure that all their clinical material is available for inspection by the court and by other experts called upon to advise in the case. There is nothing more embarrassing for an expert (as well as time wasting in court) than to be confronted with a document or piece of evidence with which he or she has not previously been supplied, which he or she needs time to consider, and which may vitiate the opinion previously expressed in writing. It is my experience that in the past the legal profession often treated the convenience of expert witnesses with a casualness that was unconducive to any concept of mutual cooperation and that was likely to reinforce the reluctance which many expert witnesses have about giving evidence in court. Even now, the legal system sometimes simply does not take note of the fact that expert witnesses are busy people with many professional calls upon their time, and that giving evidence in court is both time consuming and takes the expert away from other important professional commitments. However, actually giving evidence in court is still perceived by some as an unpleasant experience due, in large measure, to the belief that cross examination is designed not to examine issues but to mount a personal attack on the expert’s credibility. As I have already said, judges have no expert knowledge on medical issues. It is therefore axiomatic that the doctor will know more about the subject on which he or she is giving evidence than anyone else in court. Of course medical opinions must be sound, balanced, objective, fair, and well researched: and of course if doctors have made mistakes or come to conclusions which cannot be justified by the evidence they must expect their evidence to be rigorously tested; but in my experience as both advocate and judge, experts are treated with courtesy and respect by judges of the Family Division, and I hope that in our courts cross examination which is hostile, discourteous, or personal is simply not permitted. Practice may not always live up to the ideal. But if this is the case, the expert should speak up. Judges want to know if good practice is not being observed. Each circuit in England and Wales has a High Court Family Division liaison judge, one of whose functions is to promote multidisciplinary cooperation on circuit. If an expert has any suggestions to make about the way in which interdisciplinary cooperation can be improved, or any complaint about the way in which he or she has been treated, either by the court or by the legal profession, or if there is a perception that the rules and guidelines set out in this article are not being followed then the obvious person to approach is the Family Division liaison judge for the relevant circuit. 15 Expert evidence in the Family Division is vital for the well being of the children who are the subject of the proceedings: multidisciplinary debate about how we can maximise the quality of that evidence and focus it more clearly on relevant issues is itself also extremely important. A broadly similar jurisdiction is exercised under the Children Act in care proceedings and in private law disputes between parents by county courts and family proceedings courts. It should be emphasised that this article is about civil, not criminal, proceedings in which the burden of proof is different and the practice which I describe does not apply..
