Location: Heroy Hall 153
An Event with Jonathan Koehler, Professor of Law, Northwestern University
In recent years, forensic scientists in some areas have been taken to task for over claiming, failing to test their assumptions, and neglecting to explain to judges and jurors how the risk of error affects the value of reported matches. Jurors also have some misconceptions about forensic science evidence and misunderstand the meaning of the statistics they hear in cases involving DNA evidence. Solutions will be explored.
Lunch Provided. RSVP at lawandstatistics.eventbrite.com
