Legal Seminars and Training

Early Evening Seminar Series

These seminars are part of our wider education programmes that will enable local lawyers to become better acquainted with the issues and challenges associated with science and medicine used in the court.

The topics of these seminars reflect the controversies, range of evidence types, emerging disciplines and interesting insights generated by The Forensic Institute’s casework. This enables legal practitioners to gain an insight into how different aspects of expert evidence are being explored at the laboratory level and in court, both with the UK and internationally. Speakers are chosen from within The Forensic Institute and from amongst the leaders in a range of scientific and medical disciplines.

Seminars are generally scheduled for an hour and a half, which includes a presentation; an opportunity for questions, discussion and debate; and an informal gathering for light refreshments. All seminars take place at our facilities in Baltic Chambers, 50 Wellington Street, Glasgow, G2 6HJ.

If you would like to suggest a topic for future seminars, please contact us with your suggestions.

Booking and payment is available in a secure on-line form.
