An expert witness is “[a] witness qualified by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education to provide a scientific, technical, or other specialized opinion about the evidence or a fact issue” [14]. A veterinarian will almost always be considered an expert witness. Expert witnesses are treated differently than other witnesses in a trial (see Chapter 16 on trials for more information).
