Forensic Pathology in Civil & Criminal Cases

The forensic sciences are becoming more technical, complex, and sophisticated bodies of professional knowledge and practice with each passing year. It is imperative that forensic scientists, trial attorneys, medical and law school libraries, physicians whose practices involve legal problems and potential litigation and the various local, state, and federal government agencies that deal with the forensic medicine have modern reference books such as Forensic Pathology in Civil and Criminal Cases, Fourth Edition that are available as a valuable adjunct in the pursuit of their respective professional practices. Some medical and other scientific areas of knowledge are required so frequently in various civil and criminal legal matters that particular forensic specialties have evolved, e.g., pathology, toxicology, odontology, anthropology, entomology, epidemiology, and others. The goal of this book is to facilitate communication and understanding between forensic pathologists, attorneys, and others with an interest in death investigation so that justice may be better served.
