Expert witnesses — Surviving Daubert challenges

$225.00

SKU: VVma083. Category: .

Description

Abstract: If disputing parties can’t settle their differences, valuators can act as expert witnesses. But increasingly courts hold expert witnesses to a higher standard, considering, among other things, the expert’s education, experience and credentials. This article reviews the history of admissibility of expert witnesses, focusing on the four-pronged test the Supreme Court set up in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals Inc. to determine the validity of an expert’s methodology. It lists several problems that could lead to exclusion during a Daubert challenge, including mathematical errors and failure to conduct due diligence. (Updated 5/31/12)
