Event Synopsis:
The Daubert standard is a legal sphere which concerns both attorneys and experts. The US Supreme Court’s opinion in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals Inc. in 1993 has significantly changed the federal law that governs the admissibility of expert scientific testimony in federal trials. The opinion affirmed Daubert of its gatekeeping function with respect to expert testimony.
It is of vital importance that every litigator is knowledgeable about the fundamentals as well as the latest trends and developments involving Daubert to effectively devise a strategy in precluding an opponent's experts and, conversely, protect one's own experts.
Join a panel of key thought leaders and distinguished professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group as they bring the audience to a road beyond the basics of challenging and defending expert testimony and as they delve into the in-depth analysis of the current trends and recent court rulings involving the Daubert standard. Speakers will also provide the audience with practical strategies in bringing out the best in these lawsuits in a rapidly evolving legal climate.
Key topics include:
- The Daubert Standard – An Overview
- Daubert Exclusion Trends
- Recent Court Rulings
- Challenges for Litigators
- Strategies in Challenging and Defending Expert Testimony
- The Future of Daubert
