@jerryjhlee: Lawyers will pay experts up to $350 an hour, and you don’t need a law degree. They hire expert witnesses who understand the work involved in a case and can explain what “normal” looks like. The script cites rates like $350/hour for engineering, $500–$1,000/hour for medical, and $250/hour for vocational expertise. And most of the work isn’t spent in court. It’s reviewing files beforehand. This could be especially interesting if you have years of experience but don’t want another full-time job.
