DC Shifts to ‘Daubert’ Rule for Expert Testimony

Overview


Terrence Dee successfully argued on behalf of his cellphone company and trade association clients for the District of Columbia’s highest local court to adopt the Daubert standard used in the federal court system for expert testimony. The change relates to allegations that cellphone use causes brain tumors, and may lead the court to reassess allowing the plaintiffs’ expert testimony.
