miranda v. arizona

frye v. united states

daubert v. merrell dow pharmaceuticals

roe v. wade

Answer 1

Frye v. United States

Step-by-step explanation:

To meet the Frye standard, scientific evidence presented to the court must be interpreted by the court as "generally accepted" by a meaningful segment of the associated scientific community. This applies to procedures, principles or techniques that may be presented in the proceedings of a court case.

In practical application of this standard, those who were proponents of a widely disputed scientific issue had to provide a number of experts to speak to the validity of the science behind the issue in question.

Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals was the Supreme Court case that overturned Frye.
