guide to interpreting evidence
Eminent scholars show how to interpret (not only DNA) evidence in the court, using (Bayesian) logic. It has nice one paragraph summary after each chapter; it is somewhat less numeric and more general than a book of Evett and Weir. ... Read more

For Everyone Interested In Truth and Decisionmaking
This is a very unique book and entirely appropriate for nonlawyers.This is not a "law book" on scientific evidence.The authors merely use Daubert -the case that announced the Supreme Court's current approach to scientific expert testimony- as the vehicle for an extended meditation on the nature of truth.There are very few case citations, and all jargon is thoroughly explained in advance.
Belongs in every critical thinker's library
I disagree with the previous reviewer's comments that the book is largely of use to the legal professioin.I find the law case serves as a great backdrop to understanding science and judging scientific claims.Many great principles are explained in this book.

Requires a bit of grappling with math, but well worth it
Since O.J. Simpson's double homicide trial acquainted everyonewith the concepts of RFLP and PCR testing for DNA, the issue ofscience in courtroom has been on the frontburner.As Foster and Huber demonstrate, however, this issue has had a long and controversial history.Read more

Should be on the desk of every Mass. lawyer.
The "Handbook of Massachusetts Evidence" is now in its seventh edition, and it only gets better each time.Brodin and Avery have done a fine job of updating this survey of evidence law in Massachusetts.In particular, their review of the law governing experts is particularly helpful at a time when experts are becoming central to many cases.Organized in a logical manner with an easy to use table of contents and comprehensive index, this is an excellent quick reference or starting point for research.Given the Commonwealth's reticence to enact rules of evidence, this handbook is the next best thing. ...
