Where Law Meets Science
LAIP works in partnership and collaboration with scientists and students at the California Forensic Science Institute (CFSI), led by Dr. Kathy Roberts, and California State University Los Angeles’s School of Criminal Justice & Criminalistics, within the Hertzberg-Davis Forensic Science Center. CFSI scientists and students collaborate with LAIP attorneys to test the viability, reliability, and accuracy of evidence used to convict LAIP clients.
