Expert Witness and Lawyer in the Behavioral Sciences
Judges, prosecutors and lawyers know the law. Most are not educated in the behavioral sciences. Most juries are also not experts on psychology and the law. So how will a judge, jury or lawyer know when sham science is being presented by an expert witness as fact in the courtroom? They won't.
A case can hinge on the testimony of the expert witness. Ignorance is not bliss in this situation. A lawyer's lack of a background in psychology can significantly affect the chances of winning results for his or her client.
When you cannot afford to lose, this is one lawyer-psychologist you want on your side.
