Goudge of the Court of Appeal of Ontario. Known as "The Goudge Report," the three-volume document contains 169 recommendations that address the reform of numerous aspects of forensic pathology and of the judicial procedures for using expert witnesses, post-trial correction and compensation of victims of erroneous convictions, and the improvement of legal education in science and the interaction of science and law.</p><separator></separator><p>Saks, who also is an ASU psychology professor, said many of the recommendations are applicable beyond forensic pathology and beyond Ontario. "They could contribute to improving the quality and accuracy of forensic science expertise, science and legal education, and the ability of courts to make more informed, critical, and effective use of forensic science," he said.</p><separator></separator><p><span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black; font-family: Tahoma">Janie Magruder, <a href="mailto:Jane.Magruder@asu.edu"><font color="#0000ff">Jane.Magruder@asu.edu</font></a><br />(480) 727-9052 <br />Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law</span></p>
