Geographic Information Systems Expert Witnesses
Start Geographic Information Systems Expert Search
Geographic Information Systems expert witness candidates typically have professional experience in spatial data, software engineering, location-based services, and/or possess specialized knowledge in GPS or GIS. GIS experts may be a member of an industry organization such as the Geospatial Information & Technology Association (GITA), the World Geospatial Industry Council (WGIC), or the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS). While many experts have GIS expertise, an expert witness carries the additional responsibility of providing testimony before the court in a manner whereby jurors can understand the technology and evidence.
A geographic information system (GIS) incorporates geographical features (spatial data) with other data to create and analyze maps. In addition to straight-forward computer cartography, geographic information systems can be used in many areas such as engineering, planning, management, transport and logistics, insurance, telecommunications, and business.
Matters requiring geographic information systems expert witness work often involve patent infringement or trade secret litigation. Expert witness services by a GIS technology expert could include an expert report, expert opinion, depositions, and/or trial testimony. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, an attorney may require an expert with prior expert testimony experience. In addition, clients may seek a geographic information system industry expert for pre-litigation consulting work.
Cahn Litigation Services has a vast network of experts and is regularly called upon to locate GIS experts. The firm has an earned reputation for providing candidates with the right balance of technical expertise and testimony experience for each unique project. Whether the case involves GIS data, spatial analysis, remote sensing, aerial photography, GIS databases, or GIS software, Cahn Litigation Services has the experience required to turn a search for an expert witness around quickly.

- This expert's experience and training have included substantial exposure to the field of Geographic Information Systems. For example, this expert worked for an army to develop improved navigation methods using topographical maps, aerial photos of geographic areas and three-dimensional derivations of aerial photos.- This expert developed an iterative algorithm, based on dynamic programming, for searching for the best route on a time grid, that was used to warp waveforms, as part of this project of implementing a time-warping speech recognition system. Each such route, or time-warping function, was associated with a cost function that was minimized through the search process yielding the optimal route or warping function.
