Depositions, Transcripts,
CV's:
In many instances, full text copies of the expert's
testimony and other documents may be available
directly from Idex. All documents can be viewed
and downloaded directly from this site at a reduced
price. When Idex is unable to provide a copy of
a transcript, other members of the network are
usually willing to send you what you need.
Transcript
Procurement:
If Idex has not stored a transcript you need,
we can attempt to gather copies of transcripts
listed on the Testimonial History report from
other law firms.
State License Discipline
Search:
Idex has created its own internal database of
experts who have been reviewed and disciplined
by jurisdictional licensing boards. We also utilize
other services to uncover details which may be
helpful to know.
Articles Naming the Expert:
Would it be valuable to learn if an expert has
ever been arrested, indicted or convicted of a
serious crime or has ever been guilty of misfeasance,
nonfeasance or malfeasance? We search information
which has been gathered from thousands of newspapers
throughout the world, and if there is something
in an expert's background which might call the
expert's character into question, this search
can often reveal it.
Articles by the Expert:
Learning what the expert has written can be an
important tool when cross examining the expert.
This search provides abstracts of articles and/or
books authored by the expert. Forty to eighty
databases are typically searched, depending on
the specialty of the expert.
Unidentified Expert Search:
If you are in a jurisdiction that limits discovery
and you would like Idex to identify the opposing
expert, we might be able to help. Provide us the
information you have and we will take it from
there. |

Challenges to Exclude Expert Search:
It may be important to learn if the opposing expert
or your expert has been prohibited from giving
testimony. Increasingly the use of "Gatekeeping"
cases, such as Daubert, Kumho, Frye, etc., are
being used to challenge experts. When challenges
are found, Idex will provide case details along
with the briefs and opinion.
Similar Case Search:
Do you need to know about other cases involving
hydraulic brake failure on large trucks or about
the product design of a particular ladder manufacturer?
By virtue of its large database, Idex can often
find cases with elements similar to your own
on a national or state by state basis.
When Needing an Expert:
When you need an expert to represent your case,
Idex can search its database of over 900,000 records
of expert involvement and find an expert that
can help you. Unlike typical expert referral agencies,
we neither represent nor endorse any expert, thus
allowing our data to be unbiased. We could provide
the expert's testimonial history report which
can enable you to discuss the expert with other
attorneys who have faced or used the expert.
Scientific or Medical Literature Search:
Idex can provide you with abstracts of articles
on particular medical or scientific topics.
For example, Idex provided abstracts and articles
to the prosecution in the O.J. Simpson case
regarding the blood preservative "EDTA" and
also on the topic of "Batterer Profiling". Idex
also supplied medical literature searches on
"breast implants" for the defense firm assigned
in the first class action suit.
