How to Use Expert Evidence
Does expert evidence help judges and juries ascertain the facts? When should expert evidence be admitted, or excluded? How is expert bias discovered?
Courts have seen a dramatic increase in the use of expert evidence as more and more reliance is placed on specialized knowledge in society. This type of evidence is time-consuming and expensive. It can also lead to a miscarriage of justice.
Expert evidence also creates numerous other problems for lawyers and judges. The Supreme Court of Canada has recognized these dangers:
- Misleading and confusing expert evidence
- Expert evidence that distorts the fact-finding process
- View of expert evidence as infallible
- Distracting side issues caused by expert evidence
- Judges and lawyers' uncertain capacity to determine reliability of expert evidence
- Lawyers' difficulty challenging expert evidence
- Superficial attractiveness of some expert evidence
Fully updated, this new edition of Butterworths Expert Evidence will ease the strain of managing expert evidence. Author Glenn Anderson, of the Nova Scotia Department of Justice, describes and analyzes the law of expert evidence in Canada from both the civil and criminal law perspectives. Analysis of the 2007 Supreme Court of Canada decision R. v. Trochym is included and highlights the increasing reliance on expert evidence. Glenn Anderson also recommends how to determine reliability and admissibility following methodologies from Canada and the United States. Discussion also includes potential reforms to improve impartiality of expert witnesses, reliability of expert evidence and its evaluation.
