The word "expert" in French means "knowing". The history of the bureaugoes into the deep past. The first mention of medical expertise is found in documents found in China dating back to the 6th century.
It is known for certain that under Emperor Justinian, who ruled in Byzantium in the 5th-6th centuries, studies were carried out on the authenticity of documents.
Officially, the first expert organization is the Corporation of Sworn Masters of Letters, which was engaged in the study of handwriting and signatures. It was opened in 1595 in Paris. The institution was granted a patent by King Henry IV, giving the right to conduct examinations. That is, for the first time this concept arose when official studies and conclusions were needed, confirmed by experts.
In Russia, for state and judicial purposes, research was carried out back in the days of Ivan the Terrible. Experts were then called knowledgeable persons. Even then, medical reports were needed, and it was necessary to analyze documents that could be forged.
The first order that streamlined the involvement of forensic medicine is the decree of Peter the Great, which stated that doctors had to establish the cause of violent death. An autopsy was recommended for a conclusion.
Officially, the concept of expertise was introduced only at the beginning of the last century. As soon as the Bolsheviks came to power, directives were issued establishing the procedure and rules for various events of this level. It was then that the term "expert" was introduced into use, and before that the term "knowledgeable" was used.
It is known that such well-known scientists Lomonosov and Mendeleev were involved in the analysis. So, Mikhail Vasilyevich determined the content of precious metals in various jewelry items. And Dmitry Ivanovich, in addition to the examination, also compiled a set of rules, in which for the first time in history he prescribed the principles of objectivity of evidence, which are still used in jurisprudence.
