Black robes, white coats: the puzzle of judicial policymaking and scientific evidence
|
Review
"Black Robes, White Coats is an impressive and ambitious exploration of the factors that influence judicial decision-making on the admission of scientific evidence. With meticulous detail and rigorous logic, Dr. Harris unfolds a compelling analysis that will be a model for subsequent studies in the field of judicial gatekeeping." --Neil Gerlach, author of The Genetic Imaginary: DNA in the Canadian Criminal Justice System
From the Inside Flap
Black Robes, White Coats combines the perspective of a political scientist with much-needed empirical study of judicial admissibility decisions to reveal the political and policymaking aspects of the use of scientific expertise in the courtroom. Harris provides a unique contribution to the ongoing debates in the legal and scientific communities, as well as in the media and popular culture, concerning the shifting standards of reliability for science in law.
