Is scientific information misused by this country's court system and lawmakers? Today more than ever before, lawyers, politicians, and government administrators are forced to wrestle with scientific research and to employ scientific thinking. Revealing how the results are often less than enlightened, Legal Alchemy explores the ways the American legal system incorporates scientific knowledge into its decision making.
