Common Courtroom Forensic Errors


CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trial lawyers, civil litigators and criminal defense attorneys will find Dr. Robert Heilbronner’s latest book, “Neuropsychology in the Courtroom: Expert Analysis of Reports and Testimony” (Guilford Press, 2008), to be an informative legal guide for the evaluation of neuropsychological impairments in civil and criminal litigation.

“Attorneys will learn how to properly evaluate clients who are claiming to suffer from such conditions as traumatic brain injury or chemical sensitivity,” reports Dr. Heilbronner. “Best practices in clinical decision making are identified to help experts and litigators avoid the common courtroom pitfalls in forensic analysis.”

In addition to Dr. Heilbronner’s work as editor, contributing experts provide in-depth chapters addressing various aspects of brain injury and neuropsychological impairments. The book provides multiple perspectives on sample cases, including coverage of concussions, electrical injury, neurotoxic exposure, pediatric cases, and more.

Earlier books edited or co-edited by Dr. Heilbronner include “Forensic Neuropsychology Casebook” (Guilford Press, 2005) and “The Practice of Clinical Neuropsychology” (Swets & Zeitlinger, 2003).
