Which U.S. Supreme Court case changed the manner in which judges decide whether scientific evidence can be used in court in 1993?

  1. Roe v. Wade

  2. Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

  3. Miranda v. Arizona

  4. Brown v. Board of Education

The correct answer is: Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

In 1993, the U.S. Supreme Court case Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc. changed the manner in which judges decide whether scientific evidence can be used in court. This case set a new standard for admitting expert testimony in federal trials, requiring judges to assess the reliability and relevance of the scientific evidence being presented. The other options, Roe v. Wade, Miranda v. Arizona, and Brown v. Board of Education, all address different legal issues and did not have a direct impact on the admissibility of scientific evidence in court.
