The Admissibility Of Scientific Evidence After Daubert V. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., David E. Bernstein Apr 1994

The Admissibility Of Scientific Evidence After Daubert V. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., David E. Bernstein

Cardozo Law Review

This past June, the Supreme Court decided Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the most important case involving the admissibility of scientific evidence in seventy years. While some analysts have argued that Daubert will encourage the trend toward more careful judicial scrutiny of scientific evidence, others have contended that the opinion will reduce the role of the courts in screening scientific evidence and permit a flood of junk science evidence into American courtrooms. The early evidence strongly suggests that the former view is correct. So far, most federal courts are interpreting Daubert as giving them wide authority to restrict …

Balancing The Scales: Limiting The Prejudicial Effect Of Evidence Rule 404(B) Through Stipulation, Daniel J. Buzzetta Jan 1994

Balancing The Scales: Limiting The Prejudicial Effect Of Evidence Rule 404(B) Through Stipulation, Daniel J. Buzzetta

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Note argues that, in a prosecution for a violation of a specific intent criminal statute, the government must accept a defendant’s clear and unambiguous stipulation to possessing the requisite intent for the crime charged. The trial court must ensure that the proffered stipulation is voluntarily given, unambiguous, and comprehensive, so as not to deprive the prosecution from presenting forceful, significant, and probative evidence. Once a defendant offers such an acceptable stipulation, however, the government’s introduction of prior bad acts to prove intent becomes extremely prejudicial, while any probative value the evidence may have is dissipated entirely. Part II of …

The Admissibility Of Prior Acquittal Evidence - Has North Carolina Adopted The "Minority View?" - The Effect Of State V. Scott, Matthew S. Sullivan Jan 1994

The Admissibility Of Prior Acquittal Evidence - Has North Carolina Adopted The "Minority View?" - The Effect Of State V. Scott, Matthew S. Sullivan

Campbell Law Review

This Note will examine the court's decision in State v. Scott. First, the Note will address the facts of the case. Second, it will set out the background on how courts decide whether evidence of this nature should be admitted, mainly focusing on Rules 403 and 404(b) of the North Carolina Rules of Evidence. Next, the Note will analyze how the court arrived at this "bright-line" rule as well as the effect it will have in future cases. Finally, the Note will conclude that even though North Carolina adopted the "minority rule", this approach is proper under the concept …


Employee Dishonesty And The After-Acquired Evidence Doctrine: Why Honesty Is The Best Policy, Georgia Stanaitis Jan 1994

Employee Dishonesty And The After-Acquired Evidence Doctrine: Why Honesty Is The Best Policy, Georgia Stanaitis

Cleveland State Law Review

The Eleventh Circuit has stated that application of the after-acquired evidence doctrine as a complete defense is too rigid and that it produces harsh, inequitable results. At the same time, the Eleventh Circuit has voted to rehear the case setting forth this view. Until the rehearing, the Eleventh Circuit's principles are sound.13 Specifically, the Eleventh Circuit has criticized Summers as being antithetical to the principal purposes of Title VII which are to achieve equality of employment opportunity and make whole, so far as is possible, the individual or class affected by the discrimination. The Eleventh Circuit and arbitral forums, such …


A Pragmatic Critique Of Modern Evidence Scholarship, Michael L. Seigel Jan 1994

A Pragmatic Critique Of Modern Evidence Scholarship, Michael L. Seigel

UF Law Faculty Publications

This Article contends that strict adherence to optimistic rationalism has blinded evidence scholars to the reality that the law of evidence is as indeterminate as all other areas of the law. At its core is not a single goal -- the attainment of truth -- but a number of important, complex, and, alas, competing considerations. Answers to questions concerning the appropriate configuration of evidence doctrine cannot be deduced from a unitary principle; indeed, they cannot be deduced at all. Rather, arguments about evidence doctrine must be conducted in the realm of "practical reason." Practical reason is the process through which …

The Marginal Relevance Of Choice Of Law Theory, Stewart E. Sterk Jan 1994

The Marginal Relevance Of Choice Of Law Theory, Stewart E. Sterk

Articles

The article critiques the current state of choice of law theory, arguing that existing methodologies, such as interest analysis and territorial approaches, fail to provide a coherent framework for judicial decision-making. It contends that these theories are overly rigid and do not account for the practical, fact-driven nature of how judges make choices. The author proposes a new test based on expressive similarity to address the complexities of modern copyright disputes, aiming to distinguish between protected expression and unprotected ideas. This approach seeks to balance the protection of creative works with the need to prevent overprotection, which could streamline litigation …
