According to Rule 702 of the Federal Rules of Evidence...
"an Expert is a person, who due to specialized training and experience, may
provide testimony to assist the trier of fact in understanding the evidence that is beyond
the layperson's knowledge, or to determine a fact in an issue" (Moore, 1985)
A Mental Health Professional, who is trained to provide
expert witness testimony...
- is able to form opinions based on known facts and objective
evidence, not only on theory.
- although often hired by one side in a legal matter, does not
serve as an advocate, but remains completely objective and impartial.
- is able to communicate opinions in clear, succinct, and
persuasive manner, which can help the jury understand the case, not decide its outcome
(Tsushima & Anderson, 1996).
