Abstract
The forensic podiatrist is an expert witness whose overriding duties are to the court. In performing these duties, the podiatrist must live and work to high professional standards and during practice, should work to defined protocols. This chapter covers this area and provides an explanation of these standards and protocols, adherence to which will go a long way to preventing errors from occurring while working as a forensic podiatrist.
