Forensic is derived from the Latin forum, and refers to any public discussion, although it is most familiarly used in relation to courts of law. The breadth of activity covered by members of the Consultancy Group is diverse, but many apply their scientific knowledge in a range of forensic areas. Various speakers will describe their experiences in diverse areas of forensic science, including acting as expert witnesses and defending their work under cross-examination. The role of an expert witness is to assist a public discussion of technical matters within their expertise. For example, every day we all depend on the proper functioning of equipment around us, or products meeting appropriate quality standards, but failures may have major consequences leading to disputes between affected parties. In such situations, the services of suitably qualified experts are crucial in gathering, assessing and presenting evidence. Similar skills are required by forensic experts in criminal cases to ensure that there is no miscarriage of justice. Outside courts of law, large planning developments have environmental implications to meet the increasingly demanding requirements of planning authorities and legislation. Expert support from consultants contributes to environmental statements and expert witness contributions to public inquiries, where reconciling science and subjective opinion can be a challenge. The overview of such capabilities and challenges across the wide field of forensic science will provide valuable background to consultants and also show prospective expert witnesses what is expected from them in some of the areas of opportunity.
