In General Electric Company v. Joiner, the Supreme Court emphasized that appellate courts should give great deference to a trial judge's decision to exclude expert testimony, and should only overturn that decision if it constitutes an abuse of discretion. The other listed cases (Daubert v. Merrell Dow, Kumho Tire Co. v. Carmichael, and Jenkins v. United States) are all related to the admissibility of expert testimony, but they did not specifically address the issue of appellate review of a trial judge's exclusion of such testimony.
