Cabining Judicial Discretion Over Forensic Evidence with a New Special Relevance Rule

Modern forensic evidence suffers from a number of flaws, including insufficient scientific grounding, exaggerated testimony, lack of uniform best practices, and an inefficacious standard for admission that regularly allows judges to admit scientifically unsound evidence.
