Science And Law
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-28664-4 (ISBN)
Law and science are pervasive in society, and we depend upon their fruitful collaboration to promote stability and progress. The substance and procedures of law guide our judicial, legislative, and administrative systems. Science and technology stimulate our imagination and contribute to the production and distribution of virtually all goods and services. The need for scientists and lawyers to understand the strengths and limitations of each other's profession has never been more apparent.
William A. (Tom) Thomas, a former research ecologist, is a research attorney at the American Bar Foundation in Chicago. He participates in a variety of activities designed to promote more effective cooperation between science and law.
