«'Adjudicating Refugee and Asylum Status: The Role of Witness, Expertise, and Testimony is a timely and promising title for anyone interested in the practicalities of assisting asylum seekers in court. The book provides an insightful, informative, and broad view of the complexities of asylum cases and the role experts play in helping the judiciary understand these cases … The strength of the book is the range of topics covered and the use of case studies to illustrate each point. The various authors make a good team, combining their disciplines to present information on both the necessity for expert evidence but also the problems that arise.' Julia Muraszkiewicz, International Journal of Refugee Law»
