The Center for Law & Science is devoted to the gathering and distribution of information in the form of case summaries, bibliographies of legal and scientific articles, website listings, and other materials concerned with the interaction of modern science with the courts, as well as with the international legal community. Primary attention is given to identifying, collecting, and analyzing important scientific literature, important trials, and the ongoing appellate reviews of criminal and tort cases that have science issues as important components. The Center also presents speaker programs, conducts colloquia, and hosts national conferences. Recent programs have included a conference on DNA in the courtroom, the Illinois Post-Conviction DNA Testing Statute, the phenomenon of shaken baby syndrome, crime scene protection and analysis, entrance and exit wound analysis, blood spatter analysis, researching forensic science, and examining and cross-examining DNA experts.
