North Carolina Rejects Daubert

Via David Bernstein at Point of Law, we learn that North Carolina's Supreme Court issued a decision this past Friday rejecting Daubert in favor of that state's existing and more lenient reliability standard. See Howerton v. Arai Helmet, Ltd., No. 383PA03 (N.C. Sup. Ct. June 25, 2004).
