If you’re looking for an end-of-summer read, the Forensic Book Club has selected The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist: A True Story of Injustice in the American South for its next read. We’ll meet virtually to discuss it on Sept 21 at 6 pm. It’s a fascinating chronicle of how a medical examiner and a dentist became influential experts in Mississippi in the 1990s. I think any criminal defense attorney, defense team member or forensic expert would be interested to learn about the challenges in death investigation and the factors that led to the wrongful convictions in the cases highlighted in this book.
If you’re interested in joining the book club, please complete this form, and I’ll send you the meeting link.
The book club is a friendly, casual place for attorneys, legal professionals, and experts to learn and share their perspectives. No prior experience with the topic is needed, but we do ask that you be involved professionally with criminal or parent cases. No continuing education credit is being offered. Even if you can’t attend our next session, if you complete the form you’ll get information about upcoming meetings.
We look forward to reading with you!
