How to Assist Attorneys as an Expert Witness during the Discovery Process

An expert witness can help during the entire process of case preparation. Naturally, you have to expertly conduct your own investigations, write your own report, and testify on your own. However, you and your technical experience can contribute in other ways to the accomplishment of your side’s efforts in the matter.
Lawyers will often submit pleadings – legal arguments – to the court. They will frequently ask you to write and contribute technical paragraphs of text to each pleading and then you may be asked to sign the document, called an affidavit or a declaration.
Attorneys will frequently prepare, as a part of the discovery process, a series of written requests called interrogatories. Attorneys on both sides of the case will submit a series of such requests for the production of facts and documents. This set of formal requests is a tedious series of inquiries used to discover as much as possible about what the other side knows. Your attorneys will ask you to examine such interrogatories from the other side, and you will help them prepare such interrogatories for your side.
Review your attorney’s discovery request prior to submission to ensure that the request has covered the technical elements. Ensure that the request spans all of the possible data for which he can ask, and that the phraseology of the request is technically precise. The burden in the legal system is that each side must do its best to Learn on point data from the other side. Although the discovery process permits each side to ask for documents and relevant material, the discovery requests must ask explicitly. If the document doesn’t ask precisely for technical elements, the other side doesn’t have to provide the data. Your job in this early phase is to ensure that documents prepared by your lawyer are both accurate and complete, from a technical perspective.

YogaSoul Center Offers a Free Week of Classes to New Pilates Students – Creating the Gift of Fitness and Community During the Holiday Season


Eagan, Minnesota (PRWEB) December 15, 2011

Release holiday stress and create whole-body fitness with Pilates classes at YogaSoul Center in Eagan. All new students receive 1 week of unlimited classes!

The full-scale studio offers a full range of Pilates classes that strengthen without adding bulk, increase flexibility, develop core strength, improve posture, increase energy, as well as promote weight loss. Pilates can also create a long, lean appearance.

Pilates creates body awareness that can change the daily lives of people of all ages, ranging from the average person to athletes, as well as those with physical injuries and in need of rehabilitation.

YogaSoul Pilates instructor Shannon McGarrigle can attest to Pilates power.

I have gained abdominal control and strength, and have defined arms and legs that are stronger than the ones I had during high school when I was in tennis, track, and cross country skiing, said McGarrigle, who has been teaching at YogaSoul since spring of 2009. Pilates is a way to invest in your body. The concentration and focus used leads to increasing your own knowledge of your posture, as well as your learned bad habits. The Pilates method creates a stronger center to rely on, and teaches you how to be more effective in your movements, whether it be running on a treadmill, skiing or even carrying groceries.

She said Pilates at YogaSoul is special because it creates a community environment where people can practice without a sense of ego or competition.

Mat classes, equipment and private sessions are available. Mat classes give an overall body workout and teach the fundamental floor exercises and principals of breathing, concentration and coordination. Reformer, Chair and Cadillac Pilates equipment were invented by Joseph Pilates to bring the mat principals to a whole new level. With the equipment, resistance is built into the exercises and utilizes hundreds of exercise variations. It can also be modified to suit the needs of any fitness level, as well as people rehabilitating from injury.

YogaSoul Centers mission is to help clients win the battle against stress. It has an extensive class offering in several styles of yoga, including Kundalini, Hatha, Yin, and Vinyasa. It boasts a fully equipped Pilates studio and offers many kinds of classes, including Zumba, Tai Chi and belly dancing. Its full roster of teachers and healers provide clients with a variety of healing services, including intuitive readings, Reiki, Thai yoga bodywork, Ayurveda, energy work and several others. YogaSoul also hosts special workshops and Kundalini yoga teacher trainings.
