Eric Lasker Named Chair of IADC’s Newly Launched Rule 702 Sustainability Committee
news | July 16, 2023
Following up on his successful eight-year campaign to secure the amendments to FRE 702, Firm partner Eric Lasker will chair the International Association of Defense Counsel’s (IADC) new Rule 702 Sustainability Committee, which will work in coordination with other defense groups to achieve the following goals:
- Judicial and practitioner education on the amended rule
- Creating and populating a Rule 702 resource repository
- Parallel expert admissibility rulemaking efforts in state jurisdictions
- Amicus support
Given the legal and geographic breadth of the challenge, the IADC calls upon outside counsel, in-house counsel, and insurance executives with federal and state practices in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Committee members will be given resources and support to be the new faces of Rule 702 in their jurisdictions, in their practice areas, and for their clients.
