Law 101: Legal Guide for the Forensic Expert

NCSTL created an online instructional module entitled Law 101: Legal Guide for the Forensic Expert which is housed DNA.gov. The purpose of this module is to inform non-lawyers about policies, procedures, and protocols when serving as an expert witness and the ramifications and responsibilities therein. There is a PDF document of the content.

An extensive team comprised of legal experts, writers, editors, a graphic artist, a multimedia production company, and an instructional designer gets credit for producing this distance learning module. Attribution for this work is credited to:
