Evaluating Expert Testimony Does the person have the necessary formal training? Is the person an expert in the subject under investigation? Is reference to the expert vague? Is the expert highly regarded in the field? Is the testimony relevant to the situation? Was the expert aware of the significance of the remarks? Evaluating Lay Testimony Did the person have an opportunity to observe closely and carefully? Was the person physically capable of making the observation? Did the conditions impede accurate observation? Does the observer bring preconceived expectations? Is the person biased? Is the person of good moral character? Are there any other factors that might adversely influence the observer? 2/25/2019 Phillip G. Clampitt, Ph.D.
