This Article explores this issue and offers forensic interviewers— and the attorneys who call them to the witness stand—concrete suggestions for offering expert testimony and in otherwise defending these interviews in court.18 The Article also offers guidelines for challenging the testimony of those called as experts to critique a forensic interview.en-USchild sexual abuseforensic interviewreviewprotocolsArticle
