Ask HN: Being an expert witness
I recently found a lawyer looking for expert witnesses "with a graduate degree from a prestigious school and a knowledge of algorithms." Sounded like a perfect fit and I ended up getting the job (with the up front disclosure that I had never done it before and would require coaching).
Has anyone else ever been an expert witness and what was your experience like? Any lessons learned?
