Science on the Witness Stand will be a welcome addition to the library of any medical or legal professional whose work involves presenting medical evidence in a legal context.

The book offers a complete look at the factors to be considered in a variety of legal proceedings, from claims adjudication to liability and other medical/legal proceedings. It begins by introducing an innovative approach the authors call evidence-based medical dispute resolution, then moves on to discuss the elements and logic to be presented in a medical opinion, the principles and procedures of civil litigation, and the jurist's view of scientific evidence. Issues of causality and admissibility of evidence and testimony are presented, along with individualized medical evaluation and personal risk, impairment, and evidentiary needs in environmental law and occupational health law.

Science on the Witness Stand is a must-have resource for lawyers and expert witnesses who need to present scientific knowledge and apply it in the courtroom or in claims adjudication. Its evidence-based medical dispute resolution approach gives legal and health care professionals a useful new way to evaluate evidence from the biomedical and population health sciences as it applies to law and the resolution of social issues. And it offers an effective new way for legal and medical professionals to collaborate smoothly and successfully.
