Forensic report review, calibrated to your jurisdiction.
Admissibility standards differ by venue — Daubert, Frye, and hybrid frameworks each shape what a defensible report looks like. ForensicShield calibrates report review to the controlling jurisdictional posture when you indicate the venue. These guides cover the federal framework and the state-specific standards for California, New York, Florida, and Texas.
One guide per jurisdiction.
Federal Forensic Psychology Evaluations
How federal forensic evaluations differ from state work — FRE 702 (post-2023 amendment), Daubert practice across the circuits, the 18 U.S.C. § 4241 / § 4242 / § 4246 / § 4248 statutory framework, and how ForensicShield calibrates to federal posture.
California Forensic Psychology Evaluations
California is a hybrid admissibility jurisdiction: Kelly/Leahy general acceptance plus Sargon-style reliability gatekeeping. ForensicShield reviews California reports against the dual standard, the People v. Sanchez basis-evidence rule, and the state-specific competency, NGI, SVP, and custody frameworks.
New York Forensic Psychology Evaluations
New York is a Frye jurisdiction: novel scientific methodology requires a general-acceptance hearing rather than the broader Daubert reliability inquiry. ForensicShield reviews New York reports against Frye/Wesley, the Parker reliability gloss, and the state-specific CPL Article 730, NGI, Mental Hygiene Law Article 10, and Domestic Relations Law frameworks.
Florida Forensic Psychology Evaluations
Florida adopted Daubert in 2013 and held the line through DeLisle v. Crane (2018). ForensicShield reviews Florida reports against the FL Stat § 90.702 reliability standard, the Florida-specific Baker Act, Marchman Act, Jimmy Ryce Act, and custody / competency / insanity frameworks.
Texas Forensic Psychology Evaluations
Texas applies the Daubert reliability framework via Robinson (civil) and Kelly (criminal). ForensicShield reviews Texas reports against Texas Rule of Evidence 702, Code of Criminal Procedure art. 46B competency, Penal Code § 8.01 insanity, Health & Safety Code Ch. 841 SVP, and Tex. Fam. Code § 153 custody.
