A forensic expert witness does not receive training and must develop the training on ‘on the job’ and under fire. Being a forensic expert is also about operating a practice with adequate business practices such as marketing to attorneys and insurance firms. Books alone are not the answer, but they are helpful and can be a valuable resource and constant reference.
Forensic Science – The usage of science for legal debating, Forensic is Latin - meaning "before the forum". In most cases forensic science is used in civil cases; however, the infamous cases are criminal and depend on forensics. Forensics was most likely used prior to Archimedes (287-212 BC) when the King was given a gold crown and the King believed it was not gold. The king asked Archimedes for help. Archimedes was said to be taken a bath and notice the principles of water displacement when submerging objects and their weight changed. As a result Archimedes was able to prove that a crown was not made of gold by using and developing the science of density and buoyancy for the King’s Court in documenting the first infamous case of forensics.
