N2  - The interests of the public and both the medical and legal professions are best served when scientifically sound and unbiased expert witness testimony is readily available in civil and criminal proceedings.

This policy statement offers recommendations on advocacy, education, research, qualifications, standards, and ethical business practices all aimed at improving expert testimony.<br><br>Copyright © 2017 by the American Academy of Pediatrics.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
