Science for Lawyers

Posted on Posted in Apps/Technology, Health law

If you went to law school to escape science, well, you may not have run far enough. Not surprisingly, science turns up in many legal areas – criminal law, evidence, medical malpractice, products liability, and patent law are just a few. If you’re feeling the need to brush up on your science smarts, here are a few current books from the library to help you out. They are all geared specifically toward practicing lawyers.
