Beyond the CV
It’s one thing to scan an expert witness’s resume. It’s another to know how they’ve held up under cross-examination, whether they’ve contradicted themselves, or if they were quietly disqualified in a case across the country three years ago. That level of information would be incredibly useful for every witness — but who has the time to spend hours, or even days, conducting that kind of deep-dive research?
That’s where Expert Radar comes in.
Developed by Expert Institute, Expert Radar is an AI-powered tool designed to bring expert witness due diligence into sharper focus. It gives litigators a consolidated, searchable view of an expert’s litigation history, publications, media appearances, and professional affiliations — with red flags highlighted and inconsistencies brought to light.
It’s not just about where someone went to school. It’s about whether they’ve testified inconsistently in similar cases or faced professional sanctions that aren’t easily found through traditional searches. In litigation, where the credibility of a single voice can influence the outcome, that level of scrutiny is essential.
From Search to Strategy
Expert Radar runs on data — a lot of it. The tool pulls from court filings, deposition transcripts, challenge records, news stories, and even social media, compiling it into a detailed dossier on any expert. AI-driven categorization organizes everything into clear sections like litigation history, risk indicators, and professional background.
For attorneys, that means no more juggling multiple platforms or scouring the internet for scattered documents. Everything is accessible through a single, searchable profile — continually updated and built for efficiency.
Challenging the admissibility of a witness? Expert Radar can show if and where they’ve been challenged before, and whether the court sustained that challenge. Need to assess consistency in testimony? Global Search allows users to easily search for relevant details across countless data sets, and identify contradictions. It’s due diligence with memory — and reach.
Continuous Tracking, Not Just a Snapshot
One of Expert Radar’s standout features is continuous monitoring. Once an expert is being tracked, the system provides real-time alerts on new developments — whether it’s a fresh case, press coverage, or professional updates that could impact your litigation strategy.
This ongoing view is particularly valuable when dealing with repeat players. Opposing counsel often rely on the same roster of expert witnesses across multiple cases. With Expert Radar, attorneys gain insight into how those experts performed previously — what they said, how they were challenged, and how the court responded — all of which can inform strategy from the outset.
Why It’s Getting Noticed
Expert Radar has caught the attention of litigators at firms of all sizes. Its value lies in precision: not just aggregating data, but surfacing what matters most. Is the expert tied to the party they’re testifying for? Have they made controversial statements in the media? Did they submit a declaration in one case that conflicts with their testimony in another?
It’s all in one place. In today’s legal landscape — increasingly driven by data and AI — attorneys shouldn’t be burdened with piecing together scattered background information. Expert Radar delivers what they need, when they need it.
By combining broad-scope data collection with smart organization, Expert Radar strengthens how lawyers prepare and sharpens how they work.
Proven in Court: A $44M Verdict Powered by Radar
The impact of Expert Radar isn’t just theoretical. In a recent testimonial, trial attorney Mark Alcott shared how the platform helped him secure a $44 million verdict.
Alcott used Radar to uncover contradictions in the opposing expert’s testimony and identify previous statements that directly undermined their current opinions. That discovery became a turning point in the case.
“Expert Radar helped us connect the dots,” Alcott said. “We found prior statements and declarations that completely undercut the other side’s expert. That gave us a huge advantage heading into trial.”
