Caudill and LaRue on Daubert

Via the Legal Theory Blog, we learn of:

David S. Caudill & Lewis H. LaRue, Why Judges Applying the Daubert Trilogy Need to Know About the Social, Institutional and Rhetorical - and Not Just the Methodological - Aspects of Science, 45 B.C. L. Rev. 1 (2003).

The SSRN abstract can be found here; the article itself, in PDF format, here.

Thought-provoking reading.
