Abstract
This note examines the standard for the admissibility of scientific evidence in Arizona in the wake of a recent United States Supreme Court decision, Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The Daubert case abandoned the Frye standard, which is still the law in Arizona. This note examines the Frye standard, the new Daubert standard and explains the benefits and difficulties of each. It further examines the likely future of the standard in Arizona, and suggests a novel approach to the admissibility of scientific evidence—an independent scientific committee.
