Trial lawyers must confront many issues when dealing with experts. Some of those issues include: skepticism from the court; high cost for the client; and resentful jurors--a result of arrogant-sounding experts. The trial lawyer must deal with these problems, resolve them, and encourage the court and jurors to welcome the experts as helpful, credible, admissible, and persuasive. Effective Expert Testimony shows you how and examines the rules of evidence and ethics that govern the relationship of experts to lawyers, juries, and courts. Appendices are included for selected Federal Rules of Evidence, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Supreme Court Cases and Court of Appeals Cases.

The UN Security Council: From the Cold War to the 21st Century (Project of the International Peace Academy)

The nature and scope of UN Security Council decisions - significantly changed in the post-Cold War era - have enormous implications for the conduct of foreign policy. The UN Security Council offers a comprehensive view of the council both internally and as a key player in world politics. Focusing on the evolution of the council's treatment of key issues, the authors discuss new concerns that must be accommodated in the decisionmaking process, the challenges of enforcement, and shifting personal and institutional factors. Case studies complement the rich thematic chapters. The book sheds much-needed light on the central events and trends of the past decade and their critical importance for the future role of the council and the UN in the sphere of international security.
