Using Statistics To Even The Odds With Experts

July, 2006

Birmingham, AL - Christopher Bottcher, a shareholder in the Birmingham law firm Sirote and Permutt, and Dr. Charles Cowan, managing partner of Analytic Focus published an article in the July 2006 edition of For The Defense, a mazagine for defense, insurance, and corporate counsel.

The article outlines tactics that can be used to counter expert testimony on the opposing side. For example, an expert's facts must be based upon sufficient facts or data. It must be a product of reliable principles and methods. Those principles and methods must be reliably applied to the facts of the case. The article covers a number of questions that can help defense attorneys determine the validity of the expert testimony on the opposing side.
