To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the construction of a forensic expert opinion, scientific arguments should be avoided as far as possible. While the discussion of academic questions may be most interesting in a scientific society, it is entirely out of place in a court of law. The essential thing for the judge to know is merely that the expert giving the opinion is thoroughly conver- sant with the details of the science he represents. In many countries the only physicians allowed to testify as experts are men who are offici...ally appointed to the court. In other countries it is the usual procedure to select the experts from among those specialists who have acquired eminence in their profession. Hence the judge will be perfectly justified in refusing to receive any scientific disquisition that he can follow only with difficulty. The expert opinion should not consist of a detailed history of the case, but should be a statement of facts so presented that a layman can obtain knowledge of the incidents that are deter- minative for the question of mental responsibility or competency.
