Product Description
Product Description
Lawyers are not scientists, yet prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges must assess, understand, and present science in many criminal cases. From the seemingly simple to the clearly complex, lawyers rely on "experts" to bridge the gap between law and science. But the lawyer's job, which includes assessing the reliability and admissibility of scientific evidence, cannot be wholly delegated to an "expert." How can you equip yourself to evaluate scientific evidence in your cases?Learn about the role of cognitive bias in every area of criminal forensics. You may already know about the concept of cognitive bias in forensic science generally, but this session highlights the extensive research that has been conducted in areas as varied as pathology, fingerprints, and mixture DNA. You also hear from prosecutors about approaches to forensic evidence, including measures that advance the use of valid forensics to solve crimes more quickly, ensure that invalid "science" is not relied upon to secure convictions, and promote the provision of complete forensic discovery. Develop tools to challenge, confront, and prepare experts, no matter the subject. Get practical skills to better engage with the scientific issues that arise in your cases.
Have your questions ready—the panel wants to hear from you!
