Summary

In March 1999 The U.S. Supreme Court's Kumho Tire decision extended the Daubert admissibility criteria to non-scientific expert testimony. Ten years later, motions to exclude expert witnesses are on the rise, and the discovery process has become more perilous than ever. As electronic evidence rules have change, Daubert and other motions to exclude financial experts in lost profits cases have never been as prevalent.
