[2025 NLC] Showcase Panel 4: Science in the Courts After COVID and Skrmetti
Update: 2025-11-25
Description

What are the challenges “with appealing and deferring to the authority of the expert class,” as Justice Thomas wrote in his Skrmetti concurrence? What is the role of the judge and the jury in evaluating scientific claims made by the parties?
