Since the publication of the bestselling third edition, not only have changes occurred on how the Daubert decision has been applied, but the more recent Kumho ruling applies serious scrutiny to all professionals who claim to have expert opinions. In response, the fourth edition incorporates much more information on how to survive legal challenges to one's expert testimony.
