This book was released on 2001 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its 1993 Daubert decision, the United States Supreme Court clarified the standards judges should use in deciding whether to admit expert evidence into federal cases. The Supreme Court directed judges to evaluate the method and reasoning underlying the expert evidence and to admit only evidence that was reliable and relevant. This study examines how judges have changed the way they evaluate expert evidence since Daubert and how the parties proposing and challenging evidence have responded as a result.

This book was released on 2006-08-19 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1993, the U.S. Supreme Court in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., laid out a new test for federal trial judges to use when determining the admissibility of expert testimony. In Daubert, the Court ruled that judges should act as gatekeepers, assessing the reliability of the scientific methodology and reasoning that supports expert testimony. The resulting judicial screening of expert testimony has been particularly consequential. While the Supreme Court sought to bring better science into the courtroom, questions remain about whether the lower courts' application of Daubert accords with scientific practices. This report summarizes discussions held by an ad hoc committee of the The National Academies to consider the impact of Daubert and subsequent Supreme Court opinions and to identify questions for future study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expert evidence, which often plays a critical role in the outcome of civil litigation, has long been a subject of controversy in the legal community. For many years, judges relied largely on two standards to determine whether expert evidence should be admitted into a trial: whether the evidence was relevant to the case and whether the evidence was generally accepted in the expert community. But as the importance of scientific evidence increased, observers began criticizing the relevance standard for letting into evidence too much "junk science" without a solid basis and leaving it up to the jury to assess its scientific reliability. Others argued that the general acceptance standard excluded novel expert evidence that was actually quite reliable.

Book excerpt: When the United States Supreme Court decided lt;igt;Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc.lt;/igt; in 1993, it changed the process and standards for admitting expert testimony in federal court. Since that decision, most federal courts have assumed that the lt;igt;Daubertlt;/igt; analysis is the only standard governing the admissibility of expert testimony in federal court -- even in diversity medical malpractice and medical products liability cases.However, lt;igt;Daubertlt;/igt; did not modify, or even significantly discuss, the lt;igt;Erielt;/igt; doctrine, leaving questions unanswered regarding the admissibility of expert medical testimony when federal courts sit in diversity.In particular, states often impose medical certainty requirements on expert medical testimony that can affect that testimony's admissibility, the expert's competence to testify, or the plaintiff's burden of proof. This article argues that because these state medical certainty standards generally are substantive enough under lt;igt;Erielt;/igt; to apply in diversity cases and do not directly conflict with the Federal Rules of Evidence or the lt;igt;Daubertlt;/igt; analysis, federal courts sitting in diversity should apply the relevant state standard as well as the lt;igt;Daubertlt;/igt; analysis in diversity cases that involve medical experts.

Download or read book Expert Evidence and Scientific Proof in Criminal Trials written by Paul Roberts and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forensic science evidence and expert witness testimony play an increasingly prominent role in modern criminal proceedings. Science produces powerful evidence of criminal offending, but has also courted controversy and sometimes contributed towards miscarriages of justice. The twenty-six articles and essays reproduced in this volume explore the theoretical foundations of modern scientific proof and critically consider the practical issues to which expert evidence gives rise in contemporary criminal trials. The essays are prefaced by a substantial new introduction which provides an overview and incisive commentary contextualising the key debates. The volume begins by placingforensic science in interdisciplinary focus, with contributions from historical, sociological, Science and Technology Studies (STS), philosophical and jurisprudential perspectives. This is followed by closer examination of the role of forensic science and other expert evidence in criminal proceedings, exposing enduring tensions and addressing recent controversies in the relationship between science and criminal law. A third set of contributions considers the practical challenges of interpreting and communicating forensic science evidence. This perennial battle continues to be fought at the intersection between the logic of scientific inference and the psychology of the fact-finder‘scommon sense reasoning. Finally, the volume‘s fourth group of essays evaluates the (limited) success of existing procedural reforms aimed at improving the reception of expert testimony in criminal adjudication, and considers future prospects for institutional renewal - with a keen eye to comparative law models and experiences, success stories and cautionary tales.
