American Academy of Neurology elaborates expert witness guidelines

uthful, and founded in scientific evidence."

The Expert Witness Guidelines supplement the AAN Code of Professional Conduct, and members of the AAN are expected to follow the standards set forth in both documents.

Murray G. Sagsveen, JD, another co-author and the general counsel of the AAN, explained that the AAN doesn't provide a referral service for expert witnesses for litigation purposes. "It is the responsibility of the attorneys representing the plaintiff and defendant to select expert witnesses who will follow the guidelines when providing expert witness testimony," said Sagsveen.

Following the expedited e-pub on www.neurology.org, the Qualifications and Guidelines for the Physician Expert Witness will be published in the January 10, 2006, print issue of Neurology.
