The course will include the application of the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Daubert v. Merrill Dow Pharmaceuticals; practical considerations dealing with the admission and use of expert testimony; pretrial preparation of experts; and the evolving law and practice dealing with the admission of electronic evidence, especially in the context of expert testimony.
