Counterpoint: Where Science Meets the Law
Counterpoint Volume 10 delivers authoritative forensic science, courtroom-focused analysis, and practical insights on the issues shaping alcohol and drug testing today. Designed for lawyers and forensic professionals, it provides the knowledge needed to challenge assumptions, uncover weaknesses, and advocate more effectively.
NEW Volume 10 Article:
The Client Questionnaire Series
|
Part 1 : More than IntakeA client questionnaire may collect names, court dates, and charges without actually investigating the case. More Than Intake examines how a properly designed questionnaire can identify overlooked medical and technical issues, preserve evidence, and establish an independent framework for the defense investigation. It also introduces a tiered approach combining a brief general screening questionnaire with focused, issue-specific assessment forms.

An important note about the new Counterpoint website:
We would like to thank our subscribers for their patience as we continue work on the new Counterpoint website. While we originally anticipated a quicker transition, the process of migrating our extensive archive of articles, Forensic Encyclopedia entries, videos, research materials, and member resources has proven to be a much larger undertaking than expected.
Our priority is ensuring that this valuable content is transferred accurately, organized properly, and remains fully accessible to our readers. As a result, we will continue publishing new content on the current Counterpoint website for approximately the next month or so while the migration is completed. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to unveiling a significantly enhanced platform that will better serve the forensic and legal communities for years to come.
