The Killer Feature
When cases involve a battle of experts, you want to hire an expert with impeccable credentials and courtroom talent while also identifying weaknesses in the opposing party's expert that you can expose in a deposition and at trial.
Expert Witness On-Demand from LexisNexis lets you accomplish both tasks. This service does not require a subscription. Instead, you pay for reports as needed. The website even lists the prices.
Expert Witness On-Demand contains more than 475,000 experts, many ways to search them, and reports designed for efficient vetting.
In particular, the Big 5 Bundle collects five of the most popular reports:
Testimonial History: Experts tend to omit cases with unfavorable outcomes from their CV. This report lists all prior cases in which the expert testified so that you can get a truer sense of their track record.
Enhanced Challenge: Review the expert's excluded testimony in prior cases to identify potential weaknesses.
Professional Discipline: Find out if the expert was disciplined within their field.
Articles Naming an Expert: See if the expert has received glowing press or if a negative event occurred in their life such as an arrest or conviction.
Articles Written by an Expert: Read abstracts summarizing what the expert has published to better assess their depth of knowledge and communication skills. You can order full articles if needed.
Other Notable Features
Expert Witness On-Demand offers a variety of search tools. Find experts by name, qualifications, similar cases, and other attributes. Alternatively, search scientific and medical literature to identify potential experts who have not previously served as one.
Some jurisdictions limit or delay the disclosure of expert witnesses. For this situation, the Unidentified Expert Search tool lets you find these experts through a reverse lookup process. A representative can help you with this and other custom searches.
Expert Witness On-Demand offers a variety of reports designed to help you vet prospective and opposing experts such as the Testimonial History report shown here.
