In summary, the
1993 U.S. Supreme Court
established a standard for determining the admissibility of expert
scientific evidence in litigation. This Court precedence, is described
in a decision entitled, The Application of the U.S. Supreme
Court's Daubert Criteria in Radiation Litigation (1993). This
Court precedence is now known as the
1993 Daubert Criteria,
named after the pertinent case, Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. The Daubert Criteria require that the Courts
determine whether or not: (1) the expert's work product is based on good
science; (2) the expert's work is thorough, exemplary and without bias;
(3) the expert's findings are derived by the use of an accepted
scientific method; and (4) the expert's testimony reflects a complete
and fair analysis and evaluation of both sides of the scientific
knowledge base. The preceding will then permit the legal profession to
see all sides of the evidence and develop their arguments accordingly
and in conformance with the 1993 Daubert Criteria.
