Wanna Read some more, sorry for the expression, BS, from this fool:
"An individual becomes an expert witness through preparation, education, teaching, and publications. An expert appraisal witness is recognized by his* peers as having obtained specialized knowledge in the appraisal field with respect to the subject matter under litigation. The expert appraisal witness is also one who is capable of forming an accurate opinion and who can relate that opinion in a straightforward, honest, and convincing manner."

IN REALITY ONE BECOMES AN EXPERT WITNESS WHEN AND ONLY WHEN HE IS SO DESIGNATED BY A JUDGE IN A COURT PROCEEDING. I GUESS ONE DAY THEY (MAI, AI, APPRAISAL INSTITUTE) WILL GET IT!!!!!!!!!
