Abstract
The article focuses on the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in the case Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc. on potential objections to the Consensus Rule. It mentions how the Consensus Rule would work with regard to causation evidence in toxic torts, social science evidence, and forensics. It also mentions deferring to superiorknowledge is not only sensible but also inevitable, and pockets of the law already utilize deference rules.
