Abstract

In February 2014, a group of forensic experts was convened to discuss current topics in the profession. The topics ranged from progress since the National Research Council report in 2009, to education and training, certification, research, and other professional issues, including ethics. This transcript, which represents the dynamic interaction of the participants, has been edited for clarity and length.
