While there are several texts that focus on forensic science
techniques and applications, there area few to no quality books
that adequately address the judicial interpretation of forensic
legal and scientific principles. The field of forensic science and
law has long been in need of a historic casebook. Forensic Law
Casebook: Judicial Reasoning and the Application of Forensic
Science in Criminal Cases fills the current void by reviewing
actual case law and translating the practical application of
science to the courtroom. Each chapter represents a unique forensic
discipline, providing a short introduction to the subject matter,
the relevant case law and court cases that pertain to that subject
area, and posing a variety of questions and issues to the student.
All cases provided contains a sufficient portion of the legal
decision—and its implications to the evidence and analytical
practices of that discipline—in order to then pose critical and
analytical questions to the student, once they have fully read the
case material and the decision, and considered its implications. In
this, each chapter ends its theoretical examination with real-world
experience encountered by those laboring in the investigative and
collection processes—as well as problems or challenges
encountered by those employed in the office of the prosecutor,
public defender, medical examiner, or other aligned office. This
last section of each chapter gives true meaning and impact as to
how forensic law decision-making impacts forensic practitioners,
and a true understanding of the responsibility placed on law
enforcement, investigators, and scientists tasked with collecting,
preserving, and analyzing the evidence. Forensic Law Casebook
provides the reader with an array of legal cases and decisions that
lay out the parameters of forensic law and its evidentiary value.
In the end, what emerges from this are the bedrock principles that
guide current forensic evidence and the admissibility of various
practices common to the field applications of forensic science.
Practitioners, law students, undergraduate and graduate students in
compatible majors—as well as law and universities
libraries—will benefit from this this essential reference and
adjunct to anyone studying forensic science, criminalistics, and
the law.

In A Comparative Analysis of Cicero and Aquinas, Charles P. Nemeth
investigates how, despite their differences, these two figures may
be the most compatible brothers in ideas ever conceived in the
theory of natural law. Looking to find common threads that run
between the philosophies of these two great thinkers of the
Classical and Medieval periods, this book aims to determine whether
or not there exists a common ground whereby ethical debates and
dilemmas can be evaluated. Does comparison between Cicero and
Aquinas offer a new pathway for moral measure, based on defined and
developed principles? Do they deliver certain moral and ethical
principles for human life to which each agree? Instead of a
polemical diatribe, comparison between Cicero and Aquinas may edify
a method of compromise and afford a more or less restrictive series
of judgements about ethical quandaries.
