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. Experienced expert witnesses should also be able to sharpen their skills.
