The ACR established the Committee on Ethics in 1997. As outlined in a prior article in JACR, the committee reviews allegations that an ACR member violated the Code of Ethics. One type of complaint is that an ACR member provided biased or inaccurate expert medical testimony. This article describes how the committee reviews expert witness complaints, decides whether to investigate them, and in some cases imposes disciplinary sanctions against a member.
