Notwithstanding the advisory committee’s note on the addition of
subsection (c) to Rule 701, the advisory committee’s notes to Rule
702 regarding testimony by expert witnesses under Rule 702
states:
“Thus within the scope of [Rule 702] are not only experts
in the strictest sense of the word, e.g. physicians,
physicists, and architects, but also the large group
sometimes called “skilled” witnesses, such as bankers orlandowners testifying to land values.” [emphasis added]
