The Expert Witness Handbook, Revised 3rd Edition: Tips and Techniques for the Litigation Consultant
850,000 lawyers file more than 18 million lawsuits each year, and each case needs at least two expert witnesses. As the need for consultants grows, pursuing a career as an expert witness has become an exciting new opportunity for any professional. The Expert Witness Handbook shows how to break into the business, where to find work, and how to negotiate with attorneys, judges, and juries. Completely revised to reflect new laws, this edition is fully indexed and includes a glossary of legal terms and an appendix.
Besides detailing the inner workings of the court system, Poynter also coaches readers on appearing at a deposition, answering tough questions, and using evidence in a complex legal case. Packed with resources--including sample forms and letters, as well as lists of books, periodicals, professional organizations, telephone numbers, email addresses, and websites--this book is an invaluable asset for anyone interested in litigation consulting.

excellent resource:
Dan Poynter's book, "The Expert Witness Handbook" tends to be a very practical, useful book for prepping experts across fields to provide expert testimony in a concise, logical, authoritative manner.

Seasoned expert witnesses may find this pabulum, but for the majority of expert witnesses it will serve as a very useful tool in launching and building an expert witness practice!
I wish I had read this book prior to taking on some expert witness cases:
Great insight into the expert witness business. Easy to read and gets right down to the subject at hand. The consultant agreement in the book is worth the price of the book. There are no wasted pages. Richard Graves

Some info., but poorly structured and written:
This is a frustrating book. On the one hand, there is some decent information here. However, it is very clear that the author did not spend much time thinking about how to communicate that information. This really just feels like a first pass outline/data dump which then should have been revised, edited and revised again. I will list a few of the problems below, but this is not a complete list.
First, the overall structure just seems to ramble along without a real plan of building from one section to... more info
