Decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court |
| Daubert

addressing "junk science" in the court room.

because it was not based on peer-reviewed and published
references or reproducible experimental evidence with a
well-understood error-rate. |
| West Virginia Univ. Hospitals, Inc. v. Casey
- The court ruled that expert witnesses services would

Court, in which Rehnquist, C. J., and White, O'Connor,
Kennedy, and Souter, JJ., joined. Marshall, J., filed a
dissenting opinion. Stevens, J., filed a dissenting
opinion, in which Marshall and Blackmun, JJ., joined. |

Tire Co. v. Carmichael - This tire-failure case
rested in significant part upon the depositions of a
tire failure analyst who intended to testify that, in
his expert opinion, a defect in the tire’s manufacture
or design caused the replica watches blow out. That opinion was based
upon a visual and tactile inspection of the tire and
upon the theory that in the absence of at least two of
four specific, physical symptoms indicating tire abuse,
the tire failure of the sort that occurred here was
caused by a defect. |
| General
Electric Co. v. Joiner - After he was diagnosed with
small-cell lung cancer, the respondent sued in Georgia

that were manufactured by, or present in materials
manufactured by, petitioners. |
| Weisgram
v. Marley Co. - An individual died of carbon
monoxide poisoning during a fire in her home. Her son,
petitioner, individually and on behalf of her heirs
brought this diversity action in the District Court
seeking wrongful death damages. They alleged that a
defect in a heater, manufactured by defendant (now
