The Truth Behind the Tool: Psychological Assessment Evidence in Court
Workshop, National Institute for Trial Advocacy, 2019
This was a Continuing Legal Education (CLE) course that was attended by roughly 200 attorneys. In this course, I described the features of a psychological assessment tool that are crucial in evaluating its reliability, validity, error rate, and general acceptance in the field. These are all factors that attorneys and judges should take into account when making admissibility-related decisions for evidence in court.
