Scope of work: Forensic jurisprudence is basically a forensic lawyer. Many of the forensic sciences - such as fingerprint analysis and document examination - originally developed from the need for lawyers to explain the significance of physical evidence to a case, often to identify the perpetrator of a crime.
Education and Training: Members of the Jurisprudence section must possess law degree, have passed a bar examination, and be licensed members in a good standing of the bar. Full-time law school students are eligible to join the section as students affiliates. Continuing education is essential for lawyers to stay current as forensic advances and legal standards adapt to these advances.
Career Opportunities: Lawyers working with forensic science issues may be employed in a variety of broad fields or specialties and by a broad range of employers and organizations. Some are in private practice; others work in local government agencies.
