Description

"Its value to practitioners hardly requires elaboration ... Many a barrister faced with the daunting task of cross-examining an expert ... has turned to Freckelton’s text in his or her hour of need and found invaluable assistance... (This) work is commendably ambitious. It is difficult to think of a field of forensic expert evidence which is not discussed." - The Hon Justice Christopher Beale, Supreme Court of Victoria, (2020) 44 Crim LJ 196

The Seventh Edition of Expert Evidence is the acclaimed work of first resort for analysing the complex law and practice surrounding expert witnesses and expert evidence in personal injury, commercial, criminal and family law litigation. It has been cited for over two decades by superior courts in Australia, New Zealand and other countries and is the leading international work on its subject.

Expert Evidence analyses the common law and statutory criteria for expert evidence admissibility, providing advocacy guidance on how best to assist expert witnesses in courts and to hold them accountable in cross-examination. It discusses the optimal ways for managing concurrent evidence and expert conclaves prior to court hearings.
