Challenging the admissibility of expert opinions at trial
For The Defense
United States | Publication | March 2022
Vince Lombardi, the legendary Green Bay Packers coach of the 1960s, said that “[f]ootball is blocking and tackling. You do that better than your opponent, you win.” In other words, it’s all about executing the fundamentals.
So, too, is the case in dealing with experts in modern litigation. Indeed, appropriate challenges to the admissibility of the expert’s opinions at trial can mean the difference between a plaintiff or defense verdict.
We thus think it wise—as Coach Lombardi reminds us—to focus on the basics to which due consideration should be given in contesting the admissibility of expert opinion testimony.
