Re: Expert witnesses
Yes, an expert can be required to disclose if he has testified before and if it was for the plaintiff or defendant. As I am sure you are aware, this is to show if the expert has any bias one way or the other. However, I would not do this at trial, but at a deposition.
Good Luck
