The American Bar Association.

This month, the American Bar Association (Chicago, IL) released "Science for Lawyers," a paperback book that examines and explains 13 applied scientific disciplines, including definitions, practice and professional roles/ethical guidelines of such disciplines as ballistics, medicine, physics, statistics, linguistics, genetics, chemistry, computer forensics, biology, dentistry, engineering, environmental science and psychology. The ABA said the book addresses each of those disciplines from a "jurisprudent science" perspective that explores the science of those disciplines and is targeted to attorneys who are representing a scientist, consulting with a scientist or who need a working knowledge of a particular applied science. The new volume costs $130.
