M.S.H.S. - Law & Expert Witness Studies - The Concentration and Graduate Certificate in Law and Expert
Witness Studies was developed as a result of a recognized need in
the profession for qualified and well trained expert witnesses.
There has been a great increase in the use of the expert witness in
the health related field. These include the traditional areas of
environmental health hazards, occupational health issues, impact of
personal injury and public health impact. An expert witness is one
who, by reason of education and/or specialized experience,
possesses superior knowledge of the subject matter about which
persons, having no particular training are incapable of forming an
accurate opinion or deducing correct conclusions. Experts provide
independent assistance to the Court by way of objective unbiased
opinion in relation to matters within their expertise. Experts
never assume the role of the advocate for another before a court.
The expert witness not only has specialized experience but also
experience with rendering expert opinion and testimony. It is the
goal of the Graduate Certificate to provide these combinations,
which include experience and studies in the litigation process
including alternative dispute resolution methods such as
arbitration and court mediation. This graduate certificate or MSHS
concentration is for health professionals that are first-time
expert and for those with limited experience who want to be
prepared to deliver professional services as an expert witness.
