Scientific Evidence in Civil and Criminal Cases is the sixth edition of an authoritative work that has defined and shaped scientific evidence for four decades. This practical resource covers the law associated with scientific evidence, as well as the underlying principles of the forensic science disciplines most frequently encountered in the courtroom. It explains the capabilities and limitations of the forensic science methodologies and discusses controversial and emerging issues both in the forensic science community and in the legal system. For each discipline, the standards and qualifications of experts are presented along with the current status of admissibility and applicable evidentiary law.

This edition is a substantial modernization of a casebook that began in 1973 with Professor Fred E. Inbau and now includes Andre Moenssens, Ronald Bacigal, Gerald Ashdown, and Adam Gershowitz. The book maintains the format of the subject matter structure but adds many new cases to strike new themes that modernize the book making it more meaningful for contemporary law students. A number of chapters have been substantially reworked to make them more accessible to teachers and students alike. The authors reworked chapters six, seven, eight and eleven but as in past editions, the book begins with a brief outline of criminal procedure so students have better insight into the criminal justice process.
