| Popis: | The lawyer’s obligations in a litigation are both to the client and to the judicial system. Rules of conduct leave a wide range of possibilities for lawyers to attempt to persuade a judge or jury through insincere statements that do not reach the level of falsehood. This chapter will examine the role of the expert in such a system. The lawyer’s interest is in having an expert that has become committed to being a team player. In these circumstances, it is very difficult for experts to maintain their independence. For this reason, it is of the utmost importance that forensic linguists develop methodologies that have been tested to be reliable, and which can speak for themselves. |
