Professor Imwinkelried Speaks in Australia on Forensic Science

In late July, Professor Edward Imwinkelried visited Adelaide, Australia to deliver talks on forensic science.

Early in his visit, Professor Imwinkelried spoke at a meeting of the Australia-New Zealand Forensic Science Society.  The society invited Professor Imwinkelried to speak on the subject of the admissibility of evidence of uncharged crimes at criminal trials.  Professor Imwinkelried is the author of the two-volume treatise, Uncharged Misconduct Evidence.

On July 22-23, Professor Imwinkelried participated in the Fifth International Conference on Evidence Law and Forensic Science, held at the University of Adelaide.  At the conference, Professor Imwinkelried spoke again on the subject of uncharged misconduct, presented a paper on microbial forensics, and chaired a panel on the training of forensic scientists.  Professor Imwinkelried will serve as a member of the organizing committee for the sixth conference, to be held in Maryland in 2017. 

While he was in Adelaide, Professor Imwinkelried was interviewed on Australian radio on the topic of microbial forensics, the subject of a Criminal Law Bulletin article that he released in June 2015.  His coauthors on the article are Edwin Steussy, a 2014 King Hall graduate, Professor Jonathan Eisen of the UC Davis Genome Center, and Anne-Mieke Vandamme, a geneticist at the University of Leuven in Belgium. 

Professor Imwinkelried is a world-renowned evidence scholar and has published extensively in the field.
