Expert witnesses can make or break a case: judges and juries look to their authority to explain all manner of technical subjects. But it turns out that hidden biases may be at work in who gets selected to testify as an expert.
In this episode, Becky digs into why this disparity exists and how it might be solved with her guests Isabel Kunsman and Kathryn Britten. Isabel and Kathryn are partners at consulting firm AlixPartners and co-founders of Equal Representation for Expert Witnesses (ERE), an organisation working to bring gender equality to this important function of the law.
