What is it that is hard to verify on a resume? You can check references, you can check court cases that they testified in and cross reference the CV they gave to the court then with what you have now, you can call colleges and check degrees, unless a case is under seal there are very few things that you can't check out.

You have never been asked for a list of cases that you have testified in? That is pretty routine and is easily checked out by usually one phone call and a look at your paper that you would attach with your CD.
Most of my experience involves Internal Corporate computer investigations that does not always require court testimony. So using this method of experience verification does not adequetely reveal my experience. I believe that I am not in the minority here.
It all boils down to marketability and that is something I believe Certs provide as well as what I had wrote previously.
Just a poll to see what industry certifications people of the board have, and what job position they have with these certifications.
I appreciate any responses -)
