Where do you go when you need to know more about a type of forensic science or a particular scientific evidentiary issue? Whether you are a law enforcement professional looking for information on voice analysis, a lawyer preparing a forensic anthropologist for trial, an academic doing research on forensic linguistics, or a person who just wants to know if the latest story line on CSI: Miami could possibly be true, there is a Web site that can help.

The National Clearinghouse for Science, Technology and the Law at Stetson University College of Law offers a resource for judges, lawyers, scientists, law enforcement officials, academics and others who seek information about the nexus between law, science and technology. Sponsored by a grant from the National Institute of Justice, the Web site (www.ncstl.org Exit Notice) is free to everyone. Users who register can save searches or stop in the middle of a session and come back to it later. Search results can be shared through e-mail or posted on another Web site, allowing click-throughs to specific search results. Here are some of the resources the NCSTL Web site provides."
