No abstract

Beginning with the Supreme Court of Canada decision in R v. Marquard (1993), it has become increasingly more difficult for lawyers to have proposed psychological testimony admitted into evidence at trial. By reviewing several recent cases, the author shows how courts are applying legal rules of admissibility in cases where expert psychological evidence is being proffered. Drawing on the review of case law, the author provides useful recommendations that will help psychologists ensure that -when appropriate -their testimony will be held admissible by courts.
