Based on the search results and best practices for academic CVs, here are some key points regarding including expert witness testimony and policy work on an academic CV:
Expert witness testimony:
It is generally appropriate and often expected for academics to include their expert witness experience on their CV[1][3].
This information is typically included in a section called "Expert Witness Experience" or "Litigation History"[1][3].
The list should include the level or type of participation in each case, such as consulting, giving a deposition, or appearing at trial[3].
If case details cannot be listed due to confidentiality, a general description of participation is sufficient (e.g. "Gave deposition on fluid dynamics affecting pump operations")[3].
Policy work:
While not explicitly mentioned in the search results, policy work that an academic has contributed to can be relevant to include on a CV, especially for policy analyst or public policy roles.
This could potentially be included under sections like "Professional Experience", "Consulting", or "Public Service"[1][3].
When listing policy work, focus on measurable achievements or significant contributions, such as helping draft a bill that became law or contributing to a major policy reform[8].
General CV advice:
CVs should be tailored to highlight experiences most relevant to the position being applied for[2][8].
Information included should be recent, relevant, and demonstrate practical experience in the field[2].
Quantify impact where possible to add credibility to achievements[8].
Ensure all information on the CV is factually accurate and up-to-date[3].
Remember that the exact format and content of an academic CV can vary by field and the specific purpose of the CV. It's always a good idea to consult with colleagues in your field or academic mentors for discipline-specific advice on CV content and formatting.
