Kelly-Frye Test

The Kelly-Frye Test is a legal standard used in courts to determine the admissibility of scientific evidence. It requires that scientific methods must be generally accepted by experts in the relevant field before they can be presented in court. This test ensures that only reliable and widely recognized scientific techniques are used to support claims, helping to maintain credibility in legal proceedings. Essentially, if a scientific method is not accepted by the majority of experts, its findings may be excluded from a trial.
