Daubert Tracker : Evidentiary Gatekeeping Decisions

From the Law Librarian Blog, 4/19/2005:

"In 1993, the Supreme Court decided in Daubert
v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals that scientific
testimony must be not only relevant, but reliable.
In Kumho Tire v. Carmichael, the Court extended
that rule to all experts. Accordingly, evidentiary
gatekeeping entails assessing whether expert
knowledge is relevant and reliable for admissibility.

The Daubert Tracker is a fee based database of all
reported evidentiary gatekeeping decisions, trial
and appellate going back to 1993, backed up when
available by full-text briefs, transcripts, and docket
entries. If you want to find out how specific experts
or areas of expertise fared in the courts, this is the
resource."

Daubert Tracker is on Lexis/Nexis.
