Decision question
How should Engineer A manage the disclosure of his dual role as boiler code standards committee chair and defense forensic expert when the opposing expert, Engineer B, is a member of his own subcommittee?
Focus
Engineer A's Dual Role Disclosure Obligation: Committee Chair Serving as Defense Expert Against Subcommittee Member
Option1
Disclose to Attorney X both the committee chairmanship role and Engineer B's subcommittee membership immediately upon discovery, treat disclosure as a continuing obligation requiring updates if the committee relationship materially changes during litigation, and proactively notify the engineering society's ethics or governance body of the dual-role situation
Option2
Disclose to Attorney X both the committee chairmanship role and Engineer B's subcommittee membership immediately upon discovery, provide a single comprehensive disclosure at the outset of the engagement, and allow Attorney X to assess whether the arrangement is acceptable without further proactive updates unless directly asked
Option3
Disclose the committee chairmanship role to Attorney X as a general professional background matter without specifically identifying Engineer B's subcommittee membership, on the basis that the volunteer committee relationship is diffuse and non-coercive and does not rise to the level of a material conflict requiring particularized disclosure
Role
Engineer A DOE Coal Bed Methane Expert Witness
