Amendments to Federal Rule of Evidence 702 go into effect December 2023 -- now's the time to prepare and review your strategy. Join us to discuss FRE 702 basics, motion strategy, and the effect of the new amendments to the rule.
FRE 702 governs the admissibility of expert witness testimony in litigation. Following FRE 702's enactment, the Supreme Court decided Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., providing a framework on how courts should evaluate expert opinions for their admissibility, which was incorporated into later amendments to the rule.
The recent amendment addresses the standard of proof and the burdens involved in demonstrating the admissibility of expert opinions. We'll look at how things might change when the new rule comes into effect.
Learning objectives include:
- Understand the basics of Federal Rule of Evidence 702 and its interplay with U.S. Supreme Court precedent, including Daubert and related cases
- Discuss strategy and timing of motions to exclude, including benefits and drawbacks of different timing options
- Look ahead to the implementation of the new FRE 702 language, coming in December 2023
