The Judges' Roundtable welcomed author/Judge Donald E. Shelton, author of Forensic Science in Court: Challenges in the Twenty First Century to its expert panel to discuss a congressionally mandated report from the National Research Council and the National Academy of Sciences that (1) found serious deficiencies in the nation's forensic science system and (2) called for major reforms and new research.
This panel reviewed the report's findings and discussed the implication of those findings on evidentiary issues in state and federal trials. Our panel discussed the current status of various kinds of forensic evidence, including DNA, fingerprints, handwriting, hair, bite marks, tool marks, firearms and bullets, fire and arson investigation, and bloodstain evidence. In addition, the panel discussed the criteria for admissibility of forensic evidence, new issues that may dramatically affect admissibility, and issues related to the qualification of forensic science expert witnesses.
Subscribers to this webinar will enhance their ability to assess the strengths and limitations of various types of forensic evidence in criminal and civil cases. Our panel also gave specific attention to the ABA Rules of Professional Responsibility and some of the ethical issues implicated upon considering the admissibility of forensic evidence.
