The Seven Deadly Sins of Working with an Expert

According to Gabrielle Bonne writing for Law.com on April 12, 2006,

1. WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE
2. HIRE THE FIRST PERSON WHO TELLS YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR
3. GO BARGAIN BASEMENT
4. PROVIDE INADEQUATE INFORMATION
5. ASK THEM TO BACK UP CRAZY THEORIES
6. IGNORE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LEGAL STIPULATION AND SCIENTIFIC TRUTH
7. ACT UNETHICALLY AND ASK THEM TO DO SO, AS WELL
