    This article discusses standards for the admissibility of expert testimony under Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals and Kumho Tire Co. v. Carmichael. It examines how courts have interpreted and applied the reliability and validity requirements laid out in these cases. The authors argue that courts have struggled to define what constitutes reliable expert evidence and how to determine when expert evidence is reliable enough to be admitted. The article also analyzes different approaches courts have taken in assessing the reliability of expert evidence and determining what level of reliability is required. It concludes by discussing implications of these cases for the use of expert evidence in litigation.
