    Scientific Evidence, Fourth Edition explains in clear terms the latest forensic techniques and scientific concepts used in collecting and evaluating evidence. Organized logically for the active litigator, Scientific Evidence first covers rules and precedents relating to admissibility, constitutional limitations, discovery, expert testimony, laboratory reports, and chain of custody. It then analyzes the most frequently encountered scientific evidence. The reference cited by the Supreme Court in Daubert v. Merrill Dow explains such current developments as hypnotically-refreshed testimony, DNA technologies such as RFLP and PCR, computerized accident reconstruction, securing expert assistance, questioned document examination, and bite mark comparison.

    From two of the nation's foremost authorities on scientific evidence this book includes: - Clearly written technical chapters reviewed by leading experts - Completely revised to reflect Daubert, Joiner and Kumho - Contains extensive current citations to statutes and case law - Gives attorneys the grounding in fact needed to work with expert witnesses. - Provides a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge scientific techniques - Annual supplements update scientific and legal developments
