Abstract:

I want to address two issues. First, I will state what I believe is the most essential test, the heart and soul of Daubert and its progeny. In light of that essential test, I then discuss how all courts that have considered challenges to fingerprint expert testimony have concluded that the expert testimony is admissible by failing to
perform that essential test.
