Forensic urology: a practical vision
1St. Louis University School of Medicine, Missouri 63108, USA.
Abstract:
Urologists enjoying the protection of the law owe a duty to participate in the legal system as expert witnesses. Forensic education has been neglected by clinical educators. Qualification of experts includes forensic as well as clinical competence. The forensic urologist must know legal concepts and language; the powers, duties, and role of courtroom experts. The expert witness' role is to factually enlighten the judges, not to persuade them. Practical measures to remedy the current state of affairs are described from over a decade of experience. These practical measures should be supplemented by the formal development of a subspecialty of Forensic Urology sponsored by our colleges and professional societies.
