			*Is the expert equal to the work of his own field? Are the expert’s methods and techniques in accordance with the relevant national or professional standards? Has the expert used up-to-date technology to conduct his evaluation? Does the evaluation require the expert to cover subjects beyond his area of expertise or beyond the technical and evaluation capacity of the judicial expert examination apparatus?
			*Are the materials that are the foundation for the expert’s conclusions sufficient and authentic? Are the materials suitable for evaluation or assessment, or do the materials conflict with the evaluation requirements?
			*Consider whether there is a need to advise the defense expert to independently verify the evidence.
			*Does the client have any physical or mental injuries that need an expert evaluation and technical explanation?
