Science In The Interests Of Justice
Conference
This meeting brought together leading scientists and prominent members of the legal community from the UK and USA to explore approaches used by courts in their consideration, evaluation, and management of scientific evidence and expert witnesses.
The conference considered scientific evidence that appears in court today as well as emerging areas of science, including neuroscience, human enhancement and climate change attribution, that may appear in the courts in the coming years.
The conference was part of the Science and Law programmes at the National Academy of Sciences and the Royal Society. Find out more about the Royal Society's Science and the Law programme and the National Academy of Sciences' Committee on Science, Technology and Law.
