摘　　要：The bias of expert witnesses has developed into a serious problem in the adversarial system. There have already existed some mechanisms to control experts＇ dishonesty, including the market mechanism, cross-examination and perjury. However, the effectiveness of these measures is suspect. To control bias, some more useful devices are necessary. In the proposals which have been suggested, three points are important. The first one is changing from a system of party-hired experts to court-appointed ones. The second one is the judicial fine, where the court punishes dishonest expert testimony. The third one is using professional discipline to punish dishonest experts. This article examines the merits and flaws of each orooosal.
