title: [Medical expert assessment and civil and criminal law from the viewpoint of arbitration services and the expert committee].
abstract: The procedures of the arbitration committee of north Germany for medical liability claims are discussed. This procedure is set into relation to that at court. Due to the continuously maintained communication between lawyers and physicians, which does not occur in a comparable manner in court, the choice to proceed at a arbitration committee and an expert board is seen as more useful and pertinent than at court. This is specifically explained.
