Welcome to the Forensics Library. Browse the library
by topic or search for documents by keyword. Some materials are viewable
only by practicing criminal defense lawyers but most are open to the public.
We invite you to submit materials to the library. We welcome briefs,
memoranda, transcripts, training materials, weblinks--anything that may help lawyers deal
more effectively with forensic evidence.
