Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward

Prof. Nina Chernoff

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.
