Where this comes from

Abstract

Expert witnesses for plaintiff and defense should be able to provide evidence-based literature to support their testimony in depositions and in the courtroom. Specialty societies, such as the American Academy of Neurology, should be willing to review complaints about unsubstantiated testimony and, at times, publicly discipline offending experts.
