Junk science admitted during trial continues to undermine our judicial system, unfairly affecting individual parties, consumers and industries.
When judges allow flawed evidence to corrupt verdicts, that rewards frivolous litigants, encourages future “jackpot justice” claims and fuels widespread distortion of justice.
Juries shouldn’t be blamed, because they can’t be expected to make effective decisions in cases when “expert” testimony put before them is actually rooted in junk science. Rather, our judicial system must do a better job of applying the rules of evidence and ensuring that jurors can better trust the accuracy of the information they receive in court.
