Tennessee

    Tennessee decisions are monitored for the site by Steven M. Markowitz, of the Memphis firm Glassman, Edwards, Wade & Wyatt.  Tennessee has rejected Frye and follows a test similar to Daubert's.  See McDaniel v. CSX Transp., 955 S.W.2d 257 (Tenn. 1997), cert. denied,  524 U.S. 915 (1998).  It also follows Kumho Tire.  See State v. Stevens, 78 S.W.3d 817 (Tenn. 2002), cert. denied, 537 U.S. 1115 (2003).  The Tennessee Rules of Evidence are available online.
