Topics in Scientific Evidence

This seminar examines how scientific and medical evidence functions in law, focusing on contemporary controversies where scientific consensus becomes contested. We cover foundational standards including Daubert, but extend beyond traditional evidence doctrine to explore how courts, policymakers, and advocates navigate competing scientific claims in constitutional litigation, criminal cases, and regulatory policymaking.
