Almeciga v. Center for Investigative Reporting, Inc.

Prof. Nina Chernoff

This opinion is useful because the author, Judge Rakoff, (a) explicitly tackles the relationship between Daubert and Kumho; (b) actually understands the Daubert factors by a judge who actually understands them; and (c) provides an overview of another forensic “science;” handwriting analysis.
