If you missed yesterday’s webinar on becoming an expert witness, it is now available on demand!
CRM practitioners are experts in many aspects of cultural heritage. They are also on the front line of cultural resource compliance and stewardship. Transferring this expertise into the legal system as an expert witness is rewarding and lucrative while opening a new service line not tied to NHPA compliance. However, the legal system operates under a different set of rules and practices that CRM practitioners may not understand right away. CRM professionals should nonetheless be aware of them when stepping into the role of expert witness. With CRM heading into unfamiliar and contentious territory, this knowledge is becoming even more important!
This presentation provides an introductory overview of the information needed to successfully transfer one’s skills as a CRM expert to those of an effective CRM expert witness. Topics include qualifications, rules of evidence, contracts, best practices, marketing, reporting, communication, testimony, and ethics.
