Description

Among the many features of this unique casebook: - comprehensive coverage includes forensics, medical causation, statistics, and economic expert evidence - complex issues are made readily accessible--the authors begin by exploring scientific background and move on to case examples accompanied by explanatory comments and questions - technical topics, such as statistics and DNA, are explained with accessible, appropriate-level language, without sacrificing sophisticated treatment of the issues - cases, rules, and commentary are presented in the context of scientific knowledge so that students develop a solid grounding in the methods and procedures of science and technology - the different goals and methods of law and science are clearly explained, allowing students to discern when and how these differences can be harmonized - students are taught to become sophisticated consumers of expert evidence, capable of skeptical analysis of opposition claims and critical thought about theoretical problems of expert testimony - a comprehensive Teacher's Manual provides the authors' analysis of the various cases and issues, questions to facilitate class-room discussion, and suggested useful problems and outside aids to supplement the written materials
