Expert Witness Rule

The Expert Witness Rule allows someone with specialized knowledge, training, or experience—such as a doctor, engineer, or accountant—to provide opinions in a legal case. These experts can explain complex information that the average person might not understand, helping the court make informed decisions. However, their testimony must be based on reliable methods and be relevant to the case. The rule ensures that expert opinions are used appropriately, balancing the need for specialized insights with fairness and clarity in legal proceedings.
