“How to be an Effective Chemical Engineering Expert Witness - Part 1"

An expert witness is a person permitted to testify at trial due to their specialized knowledge in a particular field. Expert witnesses are paid, professional witnesses, as distinguished from unpaid fact witnesses who have personal knowledge of relevant events. A licensed professional engineer, (P.E.), can perform as an expert witness.
