Benefits of membership
- It acts as a voice for the expert witness community, ensuring that all those who influence the role of the expert witness hear the views of expert witnesses.
- It provides a lively forum, where experts from a full spectrum of disciplines can express their concerns, share their experiences, and focus on the legal and business aspects of being an expert witness.
- Increasingly, it is acting as a single source of information, collecting, analysing and commenting on the Civil Procedure Rules and other matters of interest to its members.
- Members have access to the Society's telephone Helpline for expert assistance with any queries they may have.
- The Society's Mentor Scheme. Novice members may request to be introduced to a more experienced ‘mentor’ within the same area of expertise, who is willing to share his or her practical knowledge.
- The Society holds two conferences each year to explore developments in the expert witness field, and is currently organising regional and special interest group meetings to facilitate further interaction between its members.
