Christopher Slobogin (Vanderbilt Law School) has posted The Right to Voice Reprised on SSRN. Here is the abstract:

The brief response to Professor Erik Lillquist's Esay in this book focuses on the admissibility of expert psychiatric testimony in the wake of the Daubert v. Dow Chemical, the Supreme Court decision that attempts to "scientize" expert testimony. Most of this Essay thus reprises arguments that I made in Proving the Unprovable: The Role of Law, Science and Speculation in Adjudicating Culpability and Dangerousness. But it also contributes to a larger debate about evidence law, the Constitution, and epistemology, all of which could be captured under the rubric of the right voice.
