Science and law both strive to ascertain the truth, but the two professions often do not cooperate as fully–and thus, as effectively–as they might in addressing the growing list of intricate problems facing society. Science and technology increasingly interact with the legal system, helping to resolve existing problems and raising new questions of social significance. The active cooperation of lawyers and scientists is needed to increase the beneficial aspects of these interactions and decrease the detrimental ones; the desirability of promoting better understanding by lawyers and scientists of the aspirations and limitations of each other's profession has never been more apparent. This book is designed to help overcome the misunderstandings that often inhibit joint efforts by the two professions and to promote respect for the law-science alliance. The authors of the far-ranging essays are experienced practitioners of law or science and recognized experts at formulating multidisciplinary solutions to complex contemporary problems.
William A. (Tom) Thomas, a former research ecologist, is a research attorney at the American Bar Foundation in Chicago. He participates in a variety of activities designed to promote more effective cooperation between science and law.
