Page 3186 1 CROSS-EXAMINATION (CONTINUED) 2 BY MR. SHELLENBERGER: 3 Q Good afternoon, again, Dr. Weir. 4 A Good afternoon, sir. 5 Q Dr. Weir, approximately what year was it 6 that you began your work in the area of legal 7 consultation, once you became involved in legal 8 consultation? 9 A Probably the first project that ended up in 10 litigation in some manner I am told is 1970 or '69 or 11 thereabouts. 12 Q And, sir, is it safe to say that since 1970 13 until the present you have been involved in hundreds 14 of depositions, is that correct, where people ask you 15 questions? 16 A No. 17 Q No? Would it be over 50, sir? 18 A There was an interval of time I could not 19 consult during the time I was employed at General 20 Motors, so there was at least a three-year hiatus 21 where I couldn't do anything.
