More on how this was screened

Twenty state-law rulings also chose their own evidence standards or statutory requirements; those choices are listed separately.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

21,031 later cases cite Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; 608 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
