The Expert Witness Prepares and Presents(from the chapter) Readers wanting to become–or improve as–expert witnesses may be thinking, "OK, I've learned about the MMPI-2 and about the law, but what do I do?" This chapter provides a guide to the steps an expert witness can take in preparing for, conducting, and testifying about a forensic assessment. The first section discusses some crucial topics to address during the initial contact with the attorney. The second section examines essential steps to take when planning, conducting, and writing up the assessment. The third section examines factors that can undermine the expert's deposition and courtroom testimony.
