First issue: International Journal of Liability and Scientific Enquiry

The first issue of International Journal of Liability and Scientific Enquiry has been published.

It deals with the application of scientific knowledge to litigation, adjudication, legislation and public policy, with emphasis on the implications that informed interpretation of science exert on policy choices. The journal serves as a vehicle for exploring systematic approaches to scientific evidence in specific disputes and is particularly concerned with issues involving medicine, ecological analysis and risk assessment, and “critical appraisal" (as applied in health care sciences) to assist courts, administrative agencies, and policymakers.

There is a free download of papers from this first issue, which is a special one on Transparency, accountability and liability.
