Computer Electronics Expert Witnesses
What is a computer electronics expert witness?
Computer electronics expert witness candidates typically have extensive experience in computer science, computer engineering, computer hardware-software integration, software engineering, electrical engineering, and/or as a computer forensics expert. Computer electronics engineers need to understand the interconnection between hardware and software. Computer electronics expert witness candidates will have advanced degrees (PhD, PE) and areas of expertise in computer hardware, computer systems, computer interfaces, and/or automation. Computer electronics expert witnesses may be members of professional organizations such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Computer Society (IEEE-CS) or the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
What types of cases require a computer electronics expert witness?
Court cases requiring computer electronics expert witness services can involve intellectual property litigation, such as software copyright, patent infringement, or trade secret disputes. A criminal investigation involving fraud, electronic discovery, or computer security/hacking data can call for a computer forensic or digital forensic investigation.
What litigation support work might a computer electronics expert witness be expected to perform?
Litigation support by a computer electronics expert witness could include research and authoring expert reports, failure analyses, forensics analyses, source code reviews, providing expert opinions, deposition testimony, and expert testimony at a trial. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, a law firm may request an expert with prior expert witness experience. In addition, clients may seek a computer electronics expert for pre-litigation consulting work.
