Forensic evidence used in criminal cases has come under intense scrutiny recently because much of it never has been scientifically validated and some has been proven to be highly unreliable. More than ten years ago, the National Academy of Sciences issued a groundbreaking report concluding as much. Yet forensic “science” rarely is studied in either the law school curriculum or in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum, either at the undergraduate or graduate level. This is the first course at the University of Wisconsin—and among the first in the nation—to fill that void by bringing together law students and STEM students to examine law & forensic science.
