Daubert trilogy
The Daubert Trilogy refers to three U.S. Supreme Court cases that set standards for admitting scientific or expert evidence in court. They emphasize that such evidence must be reliable and relevant, based on scientifically valid methods. The cases introduced criteria like testing, peer review, and general acceptance in the scientific community to help judges decide if expert testimony should be trusted and allowed as evidence in legal proceedings. This framework aims to ensure that only credible expert evidence influences the outcome of a case.
