Expert Radar

Every trial lawyer knows the power of an expert witness. The right credentials can win over a jury — but only if they hold up under scrutiny. What’s less visible is whether that expert was disqualified in a similar case, contradicted themselves under oath, or quietly retracted a controversial opinion. These details matter — and they’re often buried in court records, footnotes, or faraway jurisdictions.

That’s where Expert Radar comes in.

Developed by the Expert Institute, Expert Radar is an AI-powered due diligence tool that uncovers the full litigation footprint of an expert witness. More than a résumé-checker, it serves as a comprehensive intelligence platform, helping litigators surface prior testimony, contradictions, red flags, and admissibility challenges in minutes.

In short: it helps you see the whole picture — before you’re standing in court.

Built for Litigators, Powered by Data

Expert Radar pulls from a massive trove of legal sources — including court filings, deposition transcripts, challenge records, media coverage, and even social media. But it’s not just the quantity of data that sets it apart. The platform uses AI-driven categorization to organize everything into structured, searchable sections: litigation history, risk indicators, professional affiliations, and more.

That means litigators don’t need to piece together information from scattered PDFs and outdated databases. Whether you’re preparing for trial or building a motion to exclude, Expert Radar arms you with a curated dossier and gives you the strategic advantage of knowing what’s buried in the footnotes.

Key capabilities include:

• Admissibility tracking – See where and why an expert has been challenged, and how the court ruled.

• Contradiction detection – Cross-reference declarations and testimony across cases to spot inconsistencies.

• Global Search – Scan for key facts or phrases across all tracked data with a single search.

• Real-time alerts – Stay notified of new developments in an expert’s litigation history.

Not Just a Snapshot — A Strategic Tool

One of Expert Radar’s most valuable features is continuous monitoring. Once a user begins tracking an expert, the system will flag new cases, press appearances, or professional changes that could shift litigation risk. For firms that regularly face the same roster of opposing experts, this insight is gold.

Why? Because many experts testify across dozens of cases. If they’ve contradicted themselves, been challenged successfully, or made damaging public statements — Expert Radar finds it.

And that’s exactly what happened in a recent case that resulted in a $44 million verdict. Trial attorney Mark Alcott used the platform to uncover past statements from the opposing expert that directly contradicted their testimony. That evidence became the centerpiece of the cross-examination.

“Expert Radar helped us connect the dots,” Alcott said. “It gave us a huge advantage heading into trial.”

A Tool Built for a New Era of Litigation

In an industry increasingly defined by data, Expert Radar brings due diligence up to modern standards. It’s used by litigators at firms large and small who want to move faster and prepare smarter — without compromising the depth of their research.

Because when it comes to experts, it’s not just what’s on the CV. It’s what’s beneath it.
