What happens when an expert witness is excluded? Does it damage their credibility forever—or is the fear greater than the actual impact?

In this thought-provoking episode, Professor Ed Cheng of Vanderbilt Law School—co-author of Modern Scientific Evidence—joins Ashish Arun on On the Stand to explore the data, psychology, and professional fallout of expert exclusions in court.

📌 In this episode:
– Why exclusions are seen as the “scarlet letter” of the expert world
– Does one exclusion increase the risk of being excluded again?
– What judges really do with Rule 702 and Daubert motions
– Whether AI and consensus can reshape how we evaluate expert testimony
– Advice for experts facing exclusion—and how to come back stronger

If you're an expert witness, trial attorney, or legal scholar—this episode is a must-listen.
