More Maxims and Guidelines for Testifying in Court

The Expert Expert Witness: More Maxims and Guidelines for Testifying in Court

Ten years ago I read Dr. Brodsky's first expert book aqnd it was enjoyable and to the point. As a forensic psychologist having done many cases I find his new book The Expert Expert entertaining yet poignant when covering the issues and advice offered. "The Paint by Numbers" metaphore is critical for the the practicing professional. This book will be a valuable and useful addition to the mental health practitioner's library

...for anyone who is involved in legal proceedings, professionally or otherwise. Brodsky's latest installment, based on his obviously extensive experience and insights, is replete with useful info for both those who testify and those who solicit expert testimony. At the same time, it's marvelously well written and entertaining and hard to put down once you start reading it. Brodksy has clearly done it again, and let's hope there's a third installment in the works.
