Here's another sampling of a long-running blawg that trial lawyers and litigators might find useful. Although its scope is national, its niche is specific and concentrated - the Daubert case and the admissibility of scientific evidence.
Note that the Blog is just one component of a site that should/could be your one-stop shopping for legal information on the Daubert opinion and scientific and expert evidence as the main web site breaks down the field of study to:
- source - the Daubert opinon with Supreme Court follow up decisions
- procedure - resolving a Daubert challenge
- Decisions by circuits and selected states
- fields - cases by field of expertise
- tacitcs you may try
- plus a search facility, user forum and the Blog 702
