Description

Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence, assists judges in managing cases involving complex scientific and technical evidence by describing the basic tenets of key scientific fields from which legal evidence is typically derived and by providing examples of cases in which that evidence was used. First published in 1994 by the Federal Judicial Center, the Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence was well received in the legal and academic communities and is often cited by various courts and others. Judges and lawyers faced with disputes about the admissibility of scientific and technical evidence refer to the manual to help them better understand and evaluate the relevance, reliability, and usefulness of the evidence being proffered. The manual is not intended to tell judges and lawyers what is good science and what is not. Instead, it serves to help them identify issues on which experts are likely to differ and to guide the inquiry of the court in seeking an informed resolution of the conflict. The third edition updates prior editions and adds new content - including chapters on forensics, exposure science, and neuroscience for the first time - and annotated case citations. The core of the manual consists of a series of chapters (reference guides) on various scientific topics, each authored by an expert in that field. The topics have been chosen by an oversight committee because of their complexity and frequency in litigation. Each chapter is intended to provide a general overview of the topic in lay terms, identifying issues that will be useful to judges and others in the legal profession. They are written for a non-technical audience and are not intended as exhaustive presentations of the topic. Rather, the chapters seek primarily to provide judges with the basic information in an area of science, to allow them to have an informed conversation with experts and attorneys.
