Evidence Admissibility

Each student will be required to submit a position paper as to his/her opinion reference an assigned
courtroom case which dealt with forensic science evidence admissibility. Regardless of the position you
take, the paper must include your reasoning for choosing that position. In essence, you will “pick a side” and
argue for that side. You are responsible for “convincing” the instructor as to why your position is correct and
fair. Specifically, you will review ALL the facts of the case and, based on your research, you will argue FOR or
AGAINST the admissibility of the forensic science evidence and/or technique used to describe/analyze the
evidence.
