Colorado Expert Evidence
In Colorado litigation, expert evidence is often the difference between a favorable ruling and a missed opportunity. Courts here apply a rigorous standard to expert testimony, and attorneys need more than impressive credentials—they need experts who can meet the legal threshold for admissibility and explain complex issues in a way juries can understand.
What Colorado Law Requires from Expert Witnesses
The admissibility of expert testimony in Colorado is governed by Rule 702 of the Colorado Rules of Evidence. Under this rule, expert testimony must be both relevant and reliable. It must help the judge or jury understand evidence or determine a fact in dispute, and it must be based on sufficient data, reliable principles and methods, and a clear application of those methods to the case at hand.
Courts serve as gatekeepers, evaluating expert opinions’ scientific and technical validity before allowing them into evidence. This applies not just to scientific experts, but to any field where specialized knowledge is offered—economics, finance, business valuation, statistics, and more. The goal is to prevent so-called “junk science” or unsupported conclusions from influencing the outcome of a trial.
The expert’s testimony must be more than experience-based to meet this threshold. The court will assess whether the expert’s opinion flows logically from their methods, whether the methodology is accepted in the relevant field, and whether it has been properly applied to the facts of the case. For attorneys, this means working with experts who can document their approach and withstand scrutiny in both deposition and trial.
Another critical factor is clarity. Judges and juries don’t just want to hear that a number was calculated—they want to know how and why it matters. Experts who speak in plain, persuasive language and break down dense data into understandable pieces are far more effective than those who rely on jargon or overly technical explanations. In a courtroom setting, presentation is just as important as precision.
