This Directory contains over 1,600 expert witnesses indexed by over 23,000 categories – or different areas of expertise!\u00a0 Most are located in the U.S.\u00a0but some are in Canada.\u00a0 I thought to give you a sampling of the categories but picking something representative seems\u00a0impossible.\u00a0 You can check them out at www.seakexperts.com<\/a><\/p>\n

The experts are listed alphabetically by\u00a0state, province and name.\u00a0 Their names are given, location, telephone number,\u00a0often enough\u00a0a website. area(s) of expertise, number of times deposed\/testified in the last 4 years, education\/qualifications and years in practice.<\/p>\n

SEAK, Inc. is a U.S. based\u00a0expert witness training company in business for at least 30 years.\u00a0 Their literature\u00a0indicates\u00a0they have trained thousands of expert witnesses through seminars, conferences, on-site corporate training, and by working one-on-one with individual experts.\u00a0 The training is hands-on and covers areas such as report writing, depositions, direct examinations, cross examinations and ethics.<\/p>\n

I attended one of their conferences and a workshop another year.\u00a0 They are good and well organized.\u00a0 I also have several of their books including\u00a0both on expert report writing which are excellent.<\/p>\n

It’s interesting, that while a number of their books are on testifying and cross examination, they list training in report writing first.\u00a0 As adversarial as the U.S. seems, the great majority of disputes are settled out of court, and I’m sure this due in no small measure to good expert report writing..<\/p>\n

You might take a look at their website.\u00a0 While most of the claims and dispute resolution in the Atlantic provinces doesn’t need highly specialized experts from away, it’s nice to know the resource is there.\u00a0 I could have used an expert in the design and manufacture of a power tool recently – and the expertise is listed in the SEAK directory – but my preliminary work saw the direction the investigation was going and that was enough.<\/p>\n\n\n
