PRIMERS on LAW, SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY TOPICS: being developed in tandem with Law 101 Modules. COMMUNITY ACCEPTANCE PANELS: NCSTL convenes focus groups of diverse participants from membership associations, community-based associations, citizen review boards, civil rights organizations, and others to assess public acceptance of new technologies and provide feedback to the National Institute of Justice, assisting the NIJ with a critical component of its technology research agenda.
♦   APRIL 30, 2007: a Community Acceptance Panel regarding Calmative Agents as a Less than Lethal Technology      convened in Washington, D.C. NCSTL provided an in-depth bibliography to panel members.

PRESIDENT’S DNA INITATIVE TRAINING: The goal of this project is to provide training for defense counsel who are handling cases involving biological evidence on the applications and limitations of DNA evidence as stated in the President’s DNA Initiative. To achieve this goal, the NCSTL will work closely with the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and an expert Advisory Group to develop training that will provide defense attorneys with the general knowledge of the uses of DNA evidence in judicial proceedings as it pertains to discovery and ethics, proper closing arguments, case assessment, etc. The proposed training will complement other forensic DNA evidence resources developed by NIJ, e.g., the “Officers of the Court” CD-ROM, which provides a foundational understanding of the science, technology, statistics, and other non-advocacy topics.
