Forensic Medicine or Medical Jurisprudence is a specialized area of medical practice, concerned with the relationship between medicine and the law. More specifically, forensic medicine is the scientific use of medical and paramedical specialties, as well as various dental, psychological, biological, chemical, and mechanical techniques, in investigating the causes of a person's death, disability, injury, or disease. It is used in the pursuit of justice in court proceedings and in the protection of the public from environmental hazards. Applications range from child abuse to murder and death from violations of civil rights.
