clinical social workers -- expert testimony
http://www.cswf.org/www/mempub3.html
The question presented to the Court of Appeals of Maryland last March was "whether the Circuit Court for Washingon County had erred in permitting a licensed clinical social worker to testify as an expert witness and to provide diagnostic expert testimony." Because the issue in this case had significance to clinical social workers in Maryland as well as to clinical social workers nationally, the Clinical Social Work Federation (CSWF) helped develop a "friend of the court" (amicus curiae) brief to assist the court in understanding the parameters of clinical social work practice. In its decision filed on September 13, 2000, the Court of Appeals of Maryland agreed with all aspects of our amicus brief, affirming that the "trial court neither erred nor abused its discretion in receiving the diagnostic opinions."
