While some authorities believe that the chances of a Daubert-type challenge to forensic evidence in Australia are slim, it remains a fact that the bar has been raised in all jurisdictions for standards that we must meet. By addressing the challenges posed by Daubert, we ensure that our evidence will withstand rigorous examination by the courts. Strategies are presented to ensure that routine identifications by forensic odontology will be able to meet these standards internationally.While some authorities believe that the chances of a Daubert-type challenge to forensic evidence in Australia are slim, it remains a fact that the bar has been raised in all jurisdictions for standards that we must meet.
