The ''Frye'' standard, ''Frye'' test, or general acceptance test is a test to determine the admissibility of scientific evidence. It provides that expert opinion based on a scientific technique is admissible only where the technique is generally accepted as reliable in the relevant scientific community. In ''Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals'', 509 U.S. 579 (1994), the Supreme Court held that the Federal Rules of Evidence superseded ''Frye'' as the standard for admissibility of expert evidence in federal courts.〔Arvin Maskin, Konrad Cailteux, "The Supreme Court Establishes Standard of Review for Daubert Decisions and Reaffirms District Court," March 1998, http://www.weil.com/news/pubdetail.aspx?pub=3467 LINK OUTDATED 10/7/15〕 Some states, however, still adhere to the ''Frye'' standard. ==History== This standard comes from ''Frye v. United States'', (293 F. 1013 ) (D.C. Cir. 1923), a case discussing the admissibility of polygraph test as evidence. The Court in Frye held that expert testimony must be based on scientific methods that are sufficiently established and accepted.〔(), E-notes, World of Forensic Science, Frye Standard〕 The court wrote: In many but not all jurisdictions, the ''Frye'' standard has been superseded by the ''Daubert'' standard. States still following ''Frye'' include: California, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington.〔()〕 Effective July 1, 2013, Florida no longer adheres to the ''Frye'' standard. The Florida Legislature passed House Bill 7015, and Governor Rick Scott signed it into law. Florida Statutes Chapter 107 (2013) amends Florida’s evidence code to conform to Rule 702 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and the principles applicable in federal court under ''Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'', 509 U.S. 579 (1993), with respect to the admissibility of expert testimony. It was the legislature’s intent to overrule existing Florida Supreme Court precedent that previously rejected ''Daubert'' and retained the ''Frye'' standard. Effective July 1, 2014, Kansas adopted Daubert and no longer follows the Frye standard. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frye standard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
