Daubert Institute for Forensic Psychology
The gold standard for scientific evidence set unanimously by the U.S. Supreme Court
in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc.in 1993 is gradually changing forever
how attorneys and the courts use and challenge psychological and psychiatric
testimony even in non Daubert jurisdictions.
Dr. John F. Fielder is a clinical and forensic psychologist and one of the leading
authorities on the impact of Daubert on expert testimony in his field and how it
changes the focus of the discovery process and the assessment of the reliability of
psychological and psychiatric testimony. He has written numerous articles on the
topic for legal publications and provided seminars for law firms, bar associations and
the California Department of Justice. He has also testified as an expert witness in
100's of cases involving a wide range of complaints with a psychological and/or
neuropsychological component. He has also served as a rebuttal expert and
consultant expert and authored a compliance manual on mental disabilities under the
ADA.
Dr. Fielder can provide invaluable assistance during all stages of litigation. He can
conduct reliable evaluations of plaintiffs when required. He can also suggest
relevant lines of questioning for depositions and cross-examinations of both plaintiff
and defense experts. He has experience in writing declarations for motions in limine
to exclude expert testimony. He can be relied upon to provide cost-effective
information that attorneys need to make informed strategic and tactical decisions.
