The Importance of Speaking as an Expert Witness

Having an expert witness speak on a complicated subject, including banking issues, can be complicated for jurors and attorneys, as the subjects and regulations that are covered in the cases are often issues that people don’t have to face on a day-to-day basis. When you hire someone as an expert witness, it’s vital that they choose the right words when they are speaking on the stand. By speaking properly, an expert witness is able to help the jury understand everything and maintain a credible demeanor while on the speaking with the attorneys.

There are important steps an expert witness can take when they are speaking. First of all, they should never help the questioner when they are asking a question or volunteer information when certain subjects are presented. More often than not, this ignorance is false and is there to get the expert to say more than they should. Additionally, an expert should not use absolutes when speaking. It creates arguments that are unnecessary and leads to more questions that are unnecessary.

Why Jurors Like Expert Witnesses

Bringing in an expert witness in a variety of cases is very important. Academic studies have shown that juries really trust expert witnesses, as they give credibility to a case that many people, including typical jurors, would understand. So why do people like expert witnesses so much?

The answer is simple – people like and trust teachers. When they see knowledgeable people speaking about important subjects with confidence, they believe what they say and understand the issues at hand. That said, when an expert witness is speaking in a court case, they tend to trust impartial experts more than someone who will agree with everything the attorney says. By making certain concessions when it is relevant, they look more impartial. When an expert remains impartial throughout the case and does not waver, they gain even more credit in a juror’s eyes.
