New study suggest that the Daubert bar may not be that high

A recent study by Seton Hall law professor, David Barnes, aptly subtitled "Mad Scientists in the courtroom", argues that although the Florida state courts have resisted imposing the Federal Daubert guidelines, their gatekeeping role concerning expert evidence is functionally the same as the federal guidelines. In fact, the authors argue that in some ways the Florida Frye-based expert evidence standard may impose a higher standard than Daubert.
