Featured Events
Science in the Courtroom - Trusting the Experts
Cafe Science Dundee
Monday 27th May, 7pm
Chambers Coffee House & Restaurant, 34 South Tay St
Scientific evidence is one of the most common types of evidence used in the courtroom. It is also the most easily misunderstood and misinterpreted.
This talk from Fiona Raitt, Professor at the School of Law, University of Dundee, will tackle some of the big questions around the use of science in the courtroom. How can public understanding keep pace with these advances? How do we know when we can trust the expert reports used in court? Should we, the public, simply leave it to the scientists? Whatever we do, what safeguards do we need to ensure the science used in court is reliable?
