Students prepare for mock crime scene

Students at the Wecht Institute are preparing for their first case. In January, they'll take on a mock homicide in a 10-month course designed to help them understand how things play out in the forensics science arena. They'll start at a crime scene, progress through the various investigative stages and finally present their analysis in a courtroom next November before a judge. Sounds exciting.

Combating terrorism with science and law

The Cyril H. Wecht Institute of Forensic Science and Law will host a three-day national symposium October 21-23 in Pittsburgh this fall on the roles of science and law in combating terrorism.

Experts and officials from the fields of forensic science, law, medicine, law enforcement, government and academia will convene to discuss the detection, prevention and investigation of terrorist acts, including those employing explosive, biological, chemical, radiological, nuclear and digital devices.

For more information, visit the official conference page on the Wecht Institute's website.
