Relationship with the Attorney

This chapter is about establishing a clear, productive attorney–expert relationship that sets the stage for good testimony. As clinicians and scientists, we are accustomed to being in control of how we share information. In our classrooms and consultation rooms, we orchestrate “what” and “how” information is shared. As expert witnesses in the courtroom, however, others are in control of the process. The idea of walking into a courtroom without first establishing a clear, precise plan with the attorney who is orchestrating the information exchange should be a very unsettling proposition. The chapter also frames the benefits of establishing a good working relationship with attorneys as a “two-way street.” Ideally, attorneys educate neuropsychologists and psychologists about the legal issues at hand, specific questions the expert will be asked to address, and the rules of testimony in the jurisdiction where the case is being heard. At the same time, neuropsychologists and psychologists educate attorneys about how we can contribute to understanding complex psychological and neuropsychological issues in cases. Together, a complex game plan for exchanging information during a trial is orchestrated.


The proposed CEAF will urge government departments at all levels to share information such as budgets, to allow for the creation of better solutions for the whole-of-government. Existing initiatives are currently limited to the procurement “economy of scale” level, or a superficial collaboration necessitated by an information exchange requirement within various departments of government. As envisaged in this work, the CEAF is defined as the link between government strategy and the corresponding capabilities and technology assets of the whole-of-government in action.



Mental health is intrinsically linked to many paediatric disorders, and a good working knowledge of psychiatry is important for all clinicians working with children and young people. Prompt recognition and diagnosis of mental health disorders improve the chance of successful treatment, and the close working relationship between the fields of psychiatry and paediatrics is pivotal to this.

The International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) Student Consortium (SC) is a network for young professionals studying or working within the fields of photogrammetry, remote sensing, Geographical Information Systems (GIS), and other related geo-spatial sciences. The main goal of the network is to provide means for information exchange for its young members and thus help promote and integrate youth into the ISPRS. Over the past four years the Student Consortium has successfully continued to fulfil its mission in both formal and informal ways. The formal means of communication of the SC are its website, newsletter, e-mail announcements and summer schools, while its informal ones are multiple social media outlets and various social activities during student related events. The newsletter is published every three to four months and provides both technical and experiential content relevant for the young people in the ISPRS. The SC has been in charge or at least has helped with organizing one or more summer schools every year. The organization's e-mail list has over 1,100 subscribers, its website hosts over 1,300 members from 100 countries across the entire globe, and its public Facebook group currently has over 4,500 joined visitors, who connect among one another and share information relevant for their professional careers. These numbers show that the Student Consortium has grown into a significant online-united community. The paper will present the organization’s on-going and past activities for the last four years, its current priorities and a strategic plan and aspirations for the future four-year period.

In this paper, we examine a collection of diverse studies on EDI and e-marketplace from marketing and information systems literatures. We assimilate these findings for managers considering choices on e-commerce transaction mechanisms. We hope that this will provide managers a more consistent understanding of buyer-supplier relationships in the B2B e-commerce context. </span></span></p>

A lot of information needs to be processed in the MEMS design process, but this information lack the unified expression format at present. This causes the design stage of MEMS not to be able to share information, furthermore causes low design efficiency. A product information model is presented according to MEMS design stage. XML language is used to describe information of each design stage, and an information exchange and sharing platform model has been established to solve MEMS design data sharing and exchange bottleneck question. The XML technology makes the platform reusable and extensible.
