Since 1993, Supreme Court precedent has asked judges to serve as gatekeepers to their expert witnesses, admitting only reliable scientific testimony. Seeking a balance between undue deference and undeserved skepticism, this work draws on the philosophy of science to help judges, juries, and advocates better understand its goals and limitations.
