To: All Criminal Justice Experts/Consultants
From: AELE Executive Director
Re: AELE Criminal Justice Expert Witness/Litigation Directory
After publishing eight print editions, our Criminal Justice Directory is
completely online. If you are a Criminal Justice Expert or Litigation
Consultant and want to be listed, you have two options:
Option #1: Free (basic) listing
We need, from each of you, some basic information (which is listed below as Option #1). There is NO CHARGE for a simple listing with that information. You may fax us a note (to the 800 fax # below), or mail us, or send an e-mail with that simple information. Indicate that you are requesting the "FREE LISTING ONLY" -- that is, you are NOT going to send us the Bio info. that pertains to Option #2.
Option # 2: $40 fee includes a multi page entry on our website!
1. You should send the information requested on the form below, in plain (generic) text format, as an e-mail attachment.
Do NOT add bolding, etc. We will reformat the text into HTML format.
2. You must retype all of the information requested on the form below, including the questions/headers. Following each heading you should add the information requested. If something does not apply, e.g., you don't have a fax or e-mail, type "N/A". On item No. {4}, if you have taken a lot of cases, you can list an appx. # of cases, and appx. percentages of those that are for the plaintiff and defendant.
Unlike the earlier print versions of this directory, you can expand your vita and list the subjects of your expertise without limitation of space. If you have 70 categories of expertise, feel free to list all 70. However, we cannot guarantee that we will have all 70 as categories in the "Areas of Expertise" part of our Directory.
By clicking on a subject (such as Deadly Force), Internet users will see a list of experts. Users can then click on an expert by name, and they will be hyperlinked to that individual's listing. Option # 2 experts will have, in addition to their name-address-tel-fax, a hyperlink to the biographical information section (the items listed {1} through {10} on the second part of the form, below). If the expert also has his or her own Internet Homepage/website, that also will be hyperlinked.
The subjects that are currently listed are:
[ ] Administrative negligence [failure to
direct, inadequate supervision]
[ ] Agency policies, practices and customs
[ ] Batons, flashlights and other impact weapons
[ ] Campus rapes and assaults
[ ] Capital Sentencing
[ ] Chemical irritants & electrical weapons
[ ] Competency, Insanity and Diminished Capacity
[ ] Correctional Psychiatry
[ ] Deadly force; shooting avoidance and alternatives
[ ] Employment discrimination (hiring/promotions)
[ ] Employee dishonesty investigations

[ ] Firearm range design - realism
[ ] Freedom of Information/release of police reports to public
[ ] Handicap/Disability Discrimination
[ ] In-custody inmate/prisoner suicides (and prevention methods)
[ ] Inadequate premises security (guards, CCTV, locks, lighting, etc.)
[ ] Injuries to / physical or sexual assaults on inmates and prisoners
[ ] Insufficient or inadequate training
[ ] Jail medical procedures
[ ] K-9 deployment and training
[ ] Neck restraints and similar defensive tactics
[ ] Physical Fitness Standards and Training

punishment
[ ] Street Gang Violence/Prevention
[ ] SWAT techniques, hostage & barricade situations
[ ] Use/protection of confidential informants
[ ] Vehicle pursuit & emergency response policies & techniques
[ ] Workplace violence
We will be adding additional subjects, depending on the responses we get.
Remember to put the [T], [R] or [Q] in front of each subject you list (see the
form for codes). Do NOT retype any of the above subjects if you do not answer
them with a [T], [R] or [Q]; just omit that/those line(s). Add more
subjects/topics, at will.
Option # 2 consultants must also send AELE a check for $40, which will cover the costs of reformatting the data on the form, and uploading it to our website. It will also cover your "rent" for the use of our website for this additional information, and the cost of making any changes through the year 2020. So if you change your fees, or "Ma Bell" changes your area code, the revisions can be made in a matter of hours.
Send the check to "AELE" . We are not trying to make a profit on this venture. Because AELE is a tax-exempt entity, we cannot divert our resources to assist private consultants who charge a fee for their work; that is why we are charging a modest $40 fee.
If you send us the information via e-mail attachment, we will remind you to mail us the $40; we also take MC/Visa via fax or phone. Do not send your credit card info. via unsecure e-mail.
There is no time limit for your response. However, the faster you get us a diskette, the sooner you will have your vita on our website. This is a great opportunity.
If you have any questions, fax a note, call or send AELE an e-mail to mailto:AELE@aol.com
