Fiddling While Rome Burns: The Story of the Federal Rules and Experts

It is a great privilege and honor to be asked to participate in even a small way in the work of the rules advisory process. The topic today is important, and there is a lot of brain power in the room, so much that we may be able to solve some of the problems posed by forensics. Knowledge is certainly advancing, and generally reliable consensus on some of the issues plaguing the use of forensic experts at trial may be decided in the sense that any issue is decided in a typical scientific field. More or less definitely resolving scientific controversies will have two important consequences in the real world. First, certain issues will not really be the subject of litigation, notwithstanding the conventional but false belief that there can be no directed verdicts, even partial directed verdicts, in criminal cases. In fact, certain issues will already have been decided, such as many issues concerning the scientific foundations of DNA testing. Second, certain other issues will continue to be the foundation upon which qualified experts offer opposing opinions

Response: Exaggerated and Misleading Reports of the Death of Conditional Relevance

In 1980 the late Professor Vaughn C. Ball of the University of Georgia published an article called The Myth of Conditional Relevancy. Ball\u27s article is widely admired. One well-known evidence scholar, Ronald J. Allen, liked Ball\u27s article so much that he borrowed its title word for word. Although the extent of Allen\u27s enthusiasm for Ball\u27s analysis may be unmatched, a good number of students of evidence - including this writer - have said that Ball\u27s analysis of conditional relevance is both original and important. Richard Friedman, by contrast, cannot be counted as one of Ball\u27s more ardent admirers. Although Friedman does show due respect for Ball in his article in this issue of the Michigan Law Review, he also finds fault with some parts of Ball\u27s argument
