eDiscovery Expert Testimony & Reporting — matters we are engaged for
The report has to be readable by a non-technical audience
A judge or jury will not follow an artifact-level narrative. Translating what the evidence shows into plain language, without losing the qualifications that make it accurate, is the harder half of the work.
Every assertion has to trace to an artifact
A report that describes conclusions rather than a method is a gatekeeping problem, not merely a matter of weight. The verification pass that ties each statement back to specific evidence is real work and takes real time.
Deposition will test the boundaries of the opinion
Opposing counsel will look for the point where the opinion exceeds what the data supports. Stating those limits in the report is what removes the opening.
Two experts must not contradict each other
Where a matter uses separate experts for collection and analysis, their accounts have to agree on the facts and be clear about where each one's knowledge ends.
