There are two types of Maine Weighing the Testimony of an Expert Witness: Advisory and De Nova. Advisory Maine Weighing the Testimony of an Expert Witness requires the court to consider the opinion of the expert witness in its decision-making process, but the court is not bound by it. De Nova Maine Weighing the Testimony of an Expert Witness requires the court to make its own independent determination of the value and reliability of the expert’s opinion. In both cases, the court must consider the qualifications of the witness, the relevance of the testimony to the case, the trustworthiness of the testimony, and the accuracy and completeness of the evidence presented.
