I wasn't going to say anything but, yes, writing publicly about an expert witness assignment is quasi-insane. Among other things, he'll have his blog post read back to him on the stand and he'll be asked about its inconsistencies with his testimony in both nuance and substance. Talking to the press (let alone blogging) about an assignment without clearing it first with the lawyers who hired him will endear him to no one, and a seemingly cavalier disregard of even basic notions of confidentiality won't exactly win him any friends either. The flip side of all this is that the blog post was general and not situation-specific -- so it could've been a lot worse.

But I still thought the post was interesting.
