Abstract

Both law and science are truth-seeking endeavors. In at least one respect, lawyers and scientists are like Agent Mulder on the X-Files: we believe that the truth is out there and our goal is to find it. This article is devoted to exploring and improving the means by which law relies on scientific disciplines, particularly epidemiology, to ascertain the truth.
