It depends what country you are in I guess, but in the USA there is a piece of legislation known as the Daubert criteria - Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, 509 U.S. 579 (1993) - which must be fulfilled if evidence is to be admissable in court. The criteria are:

(1) whether the methods upon which the testimony is based are centered upon a testable hypothesis;

(2) the known or potential rate of error associated with the method;

(3) whether the method has been subject to peer review; and

(4) whether the method is generally accepted in the relevant scientific community
