The First Major Decision to Apply the Daubert Standard

The first major decision to apply the Daubert standard. The court required experts to tie their assessment of data to known scientific conclusions, based on research or studies. If they cannot, the court reasoned that there would be no comparison for the jury to assess and the experts' testimony would not be helpful to the jury.
