Counterpoint's goal: Promoting scientific literacy
About us:
|
Counterpoint is an electronic journal offering scientific, forensic and technology education for lawyers, judges, and other legal professionals. Science literacy is the key, we believe, in dealing with often complex scientific and forensic issues effectively.
Articles are prepared by experts in their respective fields. Each article will address a timely topic, and will explain sometimes complex scientific issues in a clear and straightforward manner. Support and reference materials are often included. |
Your $130 CDN ($99 USD) annual subscription gives you immediate access to downloadable journal issues and articles. You will also have access to our new Online Forensic Encyclopedia - an ongoing project. Subscribe today and join other professionals who find the articles very worthwhile, easy to understand, and meaningful in their practices.
What our subscribers tell us:
"Just wanted to start off by saying your journal is fantastic and I use it all the time to study in my field of DWI defense. Keep up the great journal work."
- Bryan O., Texas
"Just a note to say what an astonishing value DUIDLA membership is. I’ve been a student member for two years, and was already overwhelmed with the value, but only in the past few days have I begun finally reading the Counterpoint Journal articles. They are tremendous. The specific article that compelled me to write this email is “An Introduction to Retrograde Extrapolation” by Deandra Grant.
I don’t yet really understand the science — I’ll have to read it several times when I’m less tired. But the article lays out what I really need even if I don’t fully get the science — exactly how to expose this pseudoscience that I instinctively know it to be to a jury. Thank you Deandra Grant and Jan Semenoff. I am now assisting a great Delaware criminal defense attorney, and because of you, I should be truly useful to him, and ready to go out on my own before long. You cut years off the learning curve. Thanks again for your incredible labor of love. Lawyers without this information are handicapping themselves."
- Patrick W., Delaware
