ABSTRACT
There has recently been a great deal of discussion in the expert community (including the earlier edition of this book) about the implications of the so-called Daubert trilogy. These three cases have been decided by the U.S. Supreme Court since 1993 (U.S. Supreme Court, 1993, 1997, 1999). In essence, these cases say that in the federal courts, the trial judge has the so-called gatekeeper function of deciding whether an expert’s testimony will be received.
