Expert witness testimony can make or break a case. An interesting blog post from 2008, Should You Bring Your Expert Witness Live to Trial?, discusses the pros and cons that litigators should weigh in deciding whether to have their expert witnesses testify live in trial or though videotape. The blog, written by an accomplished group of trial lawyers, advises that generally, a live appearance is preferable. However, sometimes the high testifying fees an expert might charge and/or the scheduling of a witness's time may make a recorded deposition more attractive. Also, some experts may make a better "appearance" on a recording. See the article for further details.
