On March 19, 2009, the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law presents the first national symposium following the 2/18/09 release of Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward,
the report of the Committee on Identifying the Needs of the Forensic
Science Community (CINFSC). Convened by the National Academies National
Research Council Committee on Science, Technology, and Law, at the
direction of the U.S. Congress, the CINFSC reports serious deficiencies
in the nation's forensic sciences system, and makes specific
recommendations for reform and research.
The Future of Forensic Sciences Symposium brings together scientists, scholars, and practitioners to discuss the CINFSC report's findings and recommendations, as well as share their views about how the forensic science disciplines can better advance the fundamental goals of the criminal justice system: to apprehend and punish those who commit crimes, while preventing the wrongful conviction of innocent persons.
The Symposium will take place 12:30pm-6:15pm at the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law (1801 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland). There is no charge to attend, and attendees can earn up to 5.25 CLEs. There is no advance registration. On-site registration begins at 11:30am. Parking is available for $6.00 at the CSU garages on East 17th and East 19th Streets. For additional information, call 216-687-6886.
