  Dear Subscriber:
  
  Thank you for enhancing your library with the 2022 edition of Massachusetts Expert Witnesses . This new edition brings updated resources within your immediate reach--for fast, accurate, and practical answers to your questions. Highlights from among the many issues addressed in this edition include
  - a percipient witness testifying as an expert witness;
  - the circumstances under which expert testimony is necessary to establish a prima facie case;
  - the use of expert testimony in legal malpractice actions;
  - the application of the Daubert-Lanigan standards to a number of specific issues, such as fingerprint evidence; paint analysis; the association of certain tattoos with white supremacist groups; and GPS data;
  - substantially updated information on the use of experts in electronic discovery, addressing topics such as selection of experts, preservation and spoliation of evidence, technology-assisted review, proportionality, and the adoption of Mass. G. Evid. s. 1119 on digital evidence;
  - a proposed amendment to Rule 702 of the Federal Rules of Evidence;
  - numerous expert-related developments in criminalistics concerning, for example, fingerprints, footprints, ammunition and ballistics, testimony of medical examiners, death certificates, cause and time of injury, and bloodstain patterns;
  - the presentation and admissibility of DNA evidence;
  - the use of statisticians and social scientists, among other types of experts, in litigating employment cases;
  - a recent Supreme Judicial Court ruling that a "but for" standard applies to causation in negligence cases involving multiple alleged causes of harm; and
  - the use of experts in addressing a number of issues in securities litigation, such as materiality, causation, damages, and accounting standards.
  We trust you will find this latest version of Massachusetts Expert Witnesses an invaluable resource for your busy practice.
