Source Code On Trial Symposium<\/h2>

FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 2021<\/span><\/h4>

2:30-4 p.m. CST<\/span><\/h4>

Over a decade has passed since The National Academy of Forensic Science\u2019s report, Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward<\/em>, called on the scientific community to examine the scientific foundations and limitations of various forensic disciplines. The report spurred important collaborations between the criminal justice and scientific communities. As a result, new probabilistic and statistical methods are rapidly being developed to analyze forensic evidence. These methods, while a promising opportunity for a scientific-driven and objective approach to forensic evidence, are implemented through computer programs. The instructions for these programs are contained within the source code.<\/p>

Now, a natural question is being asked in courts across the country: should criminal defendants have access to the source code of programs used to analyze forensic evidence? In this symposium, we begin to explore the issue of access to source code in criminal trials.<\/p>

The Source Code on Trial symposium is free and open to the public, but members of the legal community, forensic practitioners and forensic science researchers are encouraged to attend. The symposium will be held virtually.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

<\/strong>Computer Source Code in Criminal Trials: An Introduction<\/b><\/span><\/p>

Edward Imwinkelried, the Edward L. Barrett, Jr. Professor of Law Emeritus at the University of California, Davis, will give an overview of evidentiary issues related to access to source code in criminal trials. He will cover how criminal courts have handled the question of access to source code in the past and traditional legal remedies for protecting proprietary source code.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A panel discussion to explore how to ensure a fair trial for criminal defendants when computer programs are used to analyze forensic evidence. The panel will include legal scholars, practitioners, and a scientist. The panelists will discuss when access to source code is necessary, alternatives to access to source code in evaluating computer programs, and how to protect proprietary interests for computer program developers. Participants will be able to submit questions during this session.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
