Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Following a telephonic deposition, the author discovered that a psychiatrist expert witness for the other side had electronically eavesdropped on the entire six-hour proceedings. Under cross-examination the expert admitted eavesdropping on instruction of state's attorneys, and directing their deposition of the author, but denied wrongdoing. The ethical implications of such deceptive behavior and its rationalization are discussed.
