Foreword
The National Institute of Justice is pleased to release DNA for the Defense Bar. This is the fourth publication in a series designed to increase the field's understanding of the science of DNA and its application in the courtroom. The other three publications offer free online training tools for teaching officers of the court about forensic DNA analysis, assisting state and local prosecutors in preparing DNA-related cases, and teaching senior law enforcement officials about policy and practices of effective DNA analysis:
Principles of Forensic DNA for Officers of the Court: training/dna-officers-court.htm. DNA: A Prosecutor's Practice Notebook: training/dna-prosecutors-notebook.htm. DNA for Law Enforcement Decision Makers: training/dna-decisionmakers.htm.
DNA for the Defense Bar is specifically designed for criminal defense attorneys. NIJ engaged an impressive multidisciplinary team to produce the most up-to-date information possible in the ever-evolving arena of forensic DNA. Our sincere gratitude goes to our Technical Working Group members:
Jack Ballantyne Associate Director of Research University of Central Florida Orlando, FL
Catherine Cothran Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office Forensic Biology Unit West Palm Beach, FL
Jules Epstein Defense Attorney and Law Professor Widener School of Law Wilmington, DE
Christine Funk Assistant State Public Defender Minnesota Board of Public Defense Trial Team Hastings, MN
Chris Plourd Defense Attorney San Diego, CA
Vanessa Potkin Innocence Project New York City, NY
Ron Reinstein Arizona Superior Court Judge (retired) Phoenix, AZ
Edward Ungvarsky DC Public Defender Service Washington, DC
I also want to acknowledge the work of the National Clearinghouse for Science, Technology and the Law (NCSTL) at Stetson University College of Law in Tampa, FL -- with special thanks to NCSTL's Director of Outreach, Anjali Swienton, who brought her unique background as both a forensic scientist and a lawyer to this comprehensive effort.
It is important to note that NIJ is releasing DNA for the Defense Bar in print -- as well as electronically, pubs-sum/237975 -- because we have heard the voices from the field. We know that defense attorneys will want to be able to access this information in places where the Internet may not be available.
Since 2004, NIJ has been responsible for administering public funds to ensure that the nation's criminal justice system maximizes the use of DNA in solving crimes, protecting the innocent, and improving public safety. I hope you will find that DNA for the Defense Bar meets that goal.
