Product liability and mass torts partner Jessica Benson Cox and associate Eric Friedman presented a two-session webinar titled “The Daubert Exclusion Just Got Reversed: Defending Causation Experts Under Amended Rule 702.”
The first session, “Rule 702 and the December 2023 Amendment: Relevant History and Current Landscape,” covered the history leading to the December 2023 amendment to Federal Rule of Evidence 702, the amendment’s language and intended impact, and case law applying Rule 702 as amended.
The second session, “The Rule 702 Playbook: Identifying Arguments and Developing the Evidence,” provided practical guidance on identifying potential Rule 702 arguments upon receiving an opposing expert’s report, developing those arguments at deposition, and framing those arguments in a Rule 702 motion.
