National Conference on Science, Technology, and Law
This conference presented emerging trends in the use of scientific evidence in the courtroom. Given the explosion of scientific evidence litigation, coupled with the “CSI Effect,” scientists, law enforcement, laboratory personnel, judges, and lawyers are overwhelmed by the amount of information required to educate them to meet these legal challenges. Recent studies have also demonstrated a need for more scientific information and education for jurists and attorneys.
This conference helps improve the understanding of the interaction of science, technology, and law among scientists, law enforcement, attorneys, and judges and will facilitate further discussion of emerging legal and scientific issues.
The conference is designed for criminal justice professionals, including prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, investigators, law enforcement, forensic scientists, the academic community (including psychologists, molecular biologists, and biotechnologists), and expert witnesses.
It is hosted by the National Clearinghouse for Science, Technology, and the Law.Exit Notice
