Abstract
Following the forensic examination, the “product” is often a formal report. Depending upon the nature of the investigation, the report may be a brief description of the techniques used and the measurement results, or it may be a more extensive document with figures, photographs, data tables, and scientific conclusions. If the report is intended for use in a court of law, the examiner may need to be qualified as an “expert” before the report can be admitted as formal testimony.
