Manage expert witness contacts in Outlook

Expert witnesses who are believable can significantly influence the outcome of a case, so litigation attorneys are wise to know how to quickly and accurately locate expert witness information.

Microsoft Office Outlook® 2003 provides you with all of the necessary tools to create and store expert witness contact information in one central location. By using fields, categories, and views, you can organize and recall detailed information for each expert witness quickly and easily.

You don't need to maintain a separate contact list for expert witnesses. You just add witness names and information to your existing contact folder.

Store the right information
The ability to quickly recall and locate an expert witness is a critical component of the litigation process. Often times, you might not end up using an expert witness again for many years. So make sure that your contact information includes everything you might need to know about the expert witness, such as area of expertise, location, experience in the field, experience in court, professional associations, and fees.

You can even add an expert witness's picture to the contact record to help you better remember the testimony that the expert witness provided in a previous case.
