Expert Witness Research

CrossExam.com

8 October 2007. Find a database of court transcripts containing expert witness testimony. There is no information about the scope of coverage (courts, dates, fields/industries). Currently, it appears to be a small database, containing a few hundred transcripts.

While the presence of a search box indicates keyword searching is available, it didn't work for us. You may browse case name, expert name or type of expertise. There is a charge to download the transcript.

Daubert Tracker maintains a database of reported Daubert, as well as Kumho Tire and Joiner, decisions. In addition to the reported decisions, subscribers may display the court docket online and order filings, as well as briefs and transcripts.

Subscribers receive a discount for the documents they download.
