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.
