- Offers a wide range of situations in which psychologists have appeared as expert witnesses
- Includes step-by-step instructions on examining competency to stand trial and making custody recommendations
- Examines cases where psychologists have done well-and not so well-in court
- Discusses malingering, deceit, and exaggeration
- Presents guidelines for testifying in marital, civil, and criminal disputes
- Emphasizes standards for practice and practical training in providing testimony to the courts
