<P> Some commentators believe that Daubert caused judges to become -- in the phrase used in former Chief Justice William Rehnquist 's dissent in Daubert -- amateur scientists , many lacking the scientific literacy to effectively fulfill their role as gatekeeper of scientific evidence . Although `` science for judges '' forums have emerged in the wake of Daubert in order to educate judges in a variety of scientific fields , many are still skeptical about the usefulness of the Daubert standard in discerning valid science . The responsibility to assess scientific relevance has shifted from highly trained expert witnesses to judges deficient in science education . The `` Daubert '' ruling furthermore admits the possible introduction of non-peer reviewed data and conclusions . This increasingly shifts the burden of scientific judgement onto judges who have not had an education which would enable them to properly evaluate such data . </P>
