All previous comments agree on the difficulty of science playing a leading and fundamentally impartial role in judicial cases. In the environmental issue that I know a little more closely, at least in our latitudes, the complex layer of interests, the lack of economic resources for the relevant studies imply adversities while efforts are made to train the judicial stratum with knowledge based on science to a better understanding of the complex environmental problems

I think the overall quality of scince is fine but its interpretation by some scentists and specifically by the legal community is highly biased based on individual's opinions and dirctand indirect interests/agendas. -

It will be determined by whether lawyers feel the scientific evidence is persuasive to a jury in a predictable manner. The acceptance of a scientific view has declined considerably in society (due to the deterioration of education - and the use of the internet has made institutional learning less authoritative), so I expect jurors to be less impressed by science than in the past. -

I am not sure that there is anything to debate, since the preponderance of answers is "I don't know" which is also my answer. The evidence presented is related to the experience and wisdom of the presenter-- we all know the great variation in experience and wisdom that exists throughout human interactions. Therefore, each case is unique unto itself.
