Editorial Reviews
Book Description
What constitutes a legally acceptable scientific foundation for the submission of expert opinion has been one of the most vigorously contested legal questions of the past decade. This book addresses the questions involved in the relationship between the physical and biological sciences and the civil justice system. It reviews scientific legal theory by highlighting landmark cases, analyzing the scientific peer-review process, and examining the relationship between scientific causal theory and legal causation rules. It also covers the practical issues involved in prosecuting or defending the science-based case, from pretrial discovery to choosing an expert witness.
