Expert Testimony

You’ve spent a lifetime developing the skills, knowledge, and abilities that help support our postal mission. It’s no wonder that others may want to tap into that expertise. Be careful!

• As a current USPS employee, you are bound by the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch, which prohibit serving as an expert witness for a third party in any proceedings in which the United States is a party or in which the United States has an interest in the matter.

Refusing to leverage your expertise in a manner contrary to the interests of the Postal Service or the United States will keep you out of legal trouble and protect your hard-earned reputation.

And that’s smart business.

Contact the Ethics Office — ethics.help@usps.gov — with any and all questions.
