He has experience in both criminal and civil litigation

1) He has experience in both criminal and civil litigation.

Does the main verb "to have" here suggest "possession of experience" (a stative verb) or "to undergo experience" (a dynamic verb)?

  

Top answer

It's stative 'have'. Having experience is like having patience or having a brother (and not like having a party or having lunch). CJ

Yes, it suggests the meaning is possession. The cootext would nomally make that clear.
