Chrisna wrote the brief and conducted oral argument at  the Georgia Court of Appeals in Cotten v. Phillips 280 Ga. App. 280 (2006), a case of first impression on the interpretation of the then new O.C.G.A. section (now 24-7-702) as it pertains to medical expert testimony.  She was successful in the appeal and the Court agreed with her interpretation of the statute.  This victory defeated the attempts (by insurance companies and healthcare providers) to limit Plaintiffs' ability to engage medical experts on their behalf.
