    Background:

    • Medicolegal necropsies represent a substantial portion of all autopsies performed in the United States.
    • Significant qualitative differences exist between hospital and forensic autopsies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the unique characteristics of medicolegal autopsies.
    • To advocate for the inclusion of medicolegal autopsy training in pathology education.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey distributed to representative medicolegal jurisdictions across the United States.
    • Analysis of qualitative differences between hospital and forensic autopsies.

    Main Results:

    • Medicolegal necropsies constitute a considerable percentage of total autopsies.
