Last Updated: 1/29/26 

Applies to:  

  • CI People Directory - Enterprise Clients 
  • CI People Directory - Marketing Subscribers 
  • CI People Directory - Research Subscribers 

Issue/Functionality Sought:  

  • How do expert challenge records appear in the CI People Directory?
  • Where does CI source expert challenges information?
  • How is Daubert Tracker challenge data incorporated into Expert Profiles?
  • Why does LexisNexis Context challenge data appear for some firms but not others?

Solution Overview:  

This article explains where CI sources expert witness challenge data. Overall, CI collects expert challenge information from two authoritative sources:

  1. Daubert Tracker, which CI licenses and includes for all People Directory clients.
  2. LexisNexis Context, which is enabled only for clients who subscribe to Context; otherwise, it remains hidden.

Challenge records do not come from firms or experts directly. CI’s internal team reviews, normalizes, and maintains all challenge data before it appears on expert profiles. The following details further explain how challenge information enters CI, how it is processed, and when it is visible to users.

Tactical Rundown: 

How Users Find Expert Challenge Data on a Profile

Expert Challenge data appears directly on an expert’s profile, under the “Expert Challenge” tab. Users can view high-level challenge summaries at a glance. This makes it easy to understand how often an expert has been challenged, the nature of those challenges, and how the court have ruled.

Licensed Daubert Tracker Challenge Data (Included)

CI licenses expert challenge data directly from Daubert Tracker, which includes information such as:

  • Daubert challenges
  • Reliability and methodology challenges
  • Motions to exclude or limit expert testimony
  • Judicial rulings assessing expert qualifications

The above may include:

  • Case name and citation
  • Court or jurisdiction
  • Challenge type
  • Challenge outcome
  • Judge Panel (if applicable)
  • Ruling Judge
  • Judicial reasoning or excerpts from the ruling

This data is always included for CI People Directory subscribers and is automatically linked to the appropriate expert profiles.

Conditional LexisNexis Context Challenge Analytics (Subscription Dependent)

CI integrates with LexisNexis Context, which provides additional challenge analytics, summaries, and related insights. LexisNexis Context includes Overall Challenge and Trial Level data.

Whether you can access this information is dependent on:

  • If your firm subscribes to LexisNexis Context; Context challenge information is displayed and accessible within CI.
  • If your firm does NOT subscribe; all Context-related content is hidden

This ensures firms only see the content they are licensed to access.

CI Content Team Review and Normalization

All challenge records, whether from Daubert Tracker or Context, are reviewed and refined by the CI team to ensure accuracy and usability. This includes:

  • Validating expert-to-case linkage
  • Standardizing challenge types and outcomes
  • Normalizing metadata (court, jurisdiction, dates)
  • Ensuring clean formatting
  • Detecting and removing duplicates

This editorial process keeps challenge data reliable and consistent across all expert profiles.
