" The Daubert Test of Reliability

Fighting " Junk Science " in the Courtrooms

By B. Loomis

I. Introduction

In continuation of Renata Zilch's article on the Toxic

Mold scare, this is a brief overview of the US court

system's treatment of scientific and other expert

testimony under the standards set forth by the Supreme

Court in Daubert (Daubert v. Merrill Dow

Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 509 U.S. 579, 595 (1993)). The

" toxic " mold case cited by Renata Zilch in her article

had the testimony of the Plaintiff's expert excluded

on the grounds that the methodology used was simply

too unreliable to be useful to the jury. See

v. Fire Insurance Exchange, 98 S.W.3d 227 (Tex.

App.-Austin 2002, n.w.h.). "

Thanks Barb. Interesting she(?) is quoted as an expert on experts passing

Daubert in mold litigation, but I cannot find anything else of this person,

other than they get copied on some docs.
