DescriptionThe rapid progress in forensic sciences should be providing more accurate identifications, less arguable evidence and greater clarity in criminal prosecution. But shockingly, the two primary issues that have circulated around forensic sciences in criminal cases are its tendency to exonerate previously convicted individuals and the many reports attesting to the lack of scientific basis for its use. In this riveting and of-the-moment CLE course, renowned attorney Jeffrey Schwartz offers a comprehensive overview of traditional forensic sciences including arson investigation, DNA, homicide investigation, medical examiner forensics, crime scene interpretation, as well as newly emerging areas of forensics.
