Expert Witness Prediction
Predict whether your expert will survive Daubert before you retain them. Profile every federal judge's gatekeeping behavior — by case type, expert discipline, and ruling pattern.
In MDL litigation, a single Daubert ruling decides the fate of thousands of cases at once — and judges vary wildly in how they apply Rule 702. We turn millions of pages of orders, hearings, and opinions into structured profiles of how each judge handles expert testimony, so you can predict admissibility before discovery, settlement, or trial.
MDL is now 67.8% of federal civil litigation
And the assigned judge — not the science — often decides whether the case survives. Decades of research show identical cases produce wildly different outcomes depending on who hears them. We turn that randomness into a measurable signal.
Daubert profiles, decoded
Daubert Grant Rate
Per judge, overall and by year. How strict is this judge as a gatekeeper — and how has that drifted since the December 2023 Rule 702 amendment?
By Case Type
Pharmaceutical, medical device, environmental, products liability. Exclusion rates broken down by tort category — domain tendencies surface here.
By Expert Discipline
Epidemiologists, toxicologists, biomechanical engineers, clinicians. Which disciplines does this judge trust, and which do they routinely exclude?
Reasoning Patterns
Extracted methodology language from past Daubert opinions. What this judge finds persuasive — and what reads to them as unreliable methodology.
