Chapter 3 from the 2009 NRC Report

Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward

This chapter of the report describes courts’ application of the Daubert standard to forensic sciences.

Please note you can skim pages 88-94 because it covers law with which you are already familiar (the Frye test, the Daubert test, and Rule 702).

You can access the report at the link below, and I have also posted a pdf of Chapter 3 on our course Moodle page.
