An outstanding reference that demystifies the legal process for
expert witnesses in land and natural resource disputes
A vast and complex body of laws surrounds the ownership and
disposition of land resources today--so it is no wonder that land
experts who assist in land and natural resource disputes often find
themselves grappling with the challenging intricacies of the modern
legal process. This book offers a vital road map through the
labyrinth of civil laws and procedures that professionals who
assist in such cases must navigate.
In Surveying the Courtroom, Second Edition, John Briscoe
explains--in plain English--all pertinent rules of evidence and
procedure. From the filing of a complaint to its resolution, he
guides you through each phase of a land or natural resource
lawsuit, clearly describing the land expert's role at each step
along the way. He supplies numerous fascinating and instructive
case studies and vignettes to illustrate his points and to better
prepare you for crucial developments that may arise during the
course of a trial. He also provides copious references to
applicable codes, statutes, and court decisions, making it easier
for you to find the resources needed to verify or refute points, or
to arrive at a more profound understanding of a particular
subject.
Surveying the Courtroom, Second Edition is an indispensable
working resource for land surveyors, title abstractors, property
appraisers, geologists, hydrologists, geographers, oceanographers,
civil and environmental engineers, and all other professionals who
are called upon to help courts reach decisions in land and natural
resource disputes.
