Adventures in the twilight zone: empirical studies of the attorney-expert relationship.
A series of empirical pilot studies, performed during workshops at meetings of the American Academy of Psychiatry and Law (AAPL), and examining various aspects of the attorney-expert witness relationship are presented and their implications are discussed. The author calls for further investigation of a topic that--although constantly a feature of discussion among both experts and attorneys--lacks extensive empirical investigation.
