Membership in FPG

The FPG consists of approximately 250 individuals, many of whom work as consultants to attorneys and insurance companies representing parties in lawsuits. They frequently testify as expert witnesses in depositions, hearings, and trials. The FPG seeks to foster the exchange of information among members and to promote the development and applications of human factors data and methods to the presentation or refutation of claims made in a lawsuit.

Benefits of Membership
The Forensics Professional Group, like other technical groups within the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, performs a variety of functions and services for its members. In addition to sponsoring and reviewing technical sessions at the Annual Meeting of the Society, the FPG conducts special symposia on topics of interest to members. A newsletter, The FORVM, is sent to all members at least two times each year.
