Drug and Medical Device Litigation Conference - ACI

Dan Lazaro, Counsel in the Litigation section, will be an instructor during a workshop entitled "Demystifying and Defeating Junk Science in the Courtroom: Techniques to Identify and Challenge Unreliable Evidence" during ACI's Drug and Medical Device Litigation Conference on Dec. 2. 

The comprehensive workshop will feature an interactive discussion on ways to recognize and prevent junk science from entering the courtroom, such as:

• Examining the rise of consumer-based “damages only” claims that are based on junk science
• Determining the correlation between junk science and:
  • Plaintiff advertising
  • Litigation funding
• Exploring the methodologies associated with differential diagnosis and etiology
• Understanding how the lack of scientific sophistication leads to unreliable expert evidence that makes its way into the courtroom
• Deciphering legitimate scientific opinions from junk science
• Developing an understanding of the difference between medical causation and legal causation – and the scientific methodologies used to establish the causation
• Recognizing unrealistic product testing
• Preventing the admission of evidence that lacks relevant documentation, substantiation, and statistically significant data
• Rigorously scrutinizing questionable testing practices and potential conflicts of interest
