Hiatus

We're packing our bags and hopping on an airplane and heading to distant climes for a major trial -- one that begins on Monday and will last perhaps a month.

A trial, for those not among the cognoscenti, is what happens when the plaintiffs' lawyers win the Daubert motions. It's this arcane procedure where the parties present their evidence to a body of citizens known as a jury, who then weigh it and attempt to render justice according to law.

Major trials being the distractions they are, there will be a hiatus in this weblog. For the next few weeks, updates to our parent site, Daubert on the Web, will also be on hold.

We'll miss our faithful readers, but we draw solace from the knowledge that the web is full of other diversions. Keep your RSS readers turned on and tuned in, because we will be back.

Fed. R. Evid. 702: If scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge will assist the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue, a witness qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education, may testify thereto in the form of an opinion or otherwise, if (1) the testimony is based upon sufficient facts or data, (2) the testimony is the product of reliable principles and methods, and (3) the witness has applied the principles and methods reliably to the facts of the case.
