Reading Public Defender Dude, I came across a great post on DNA and an upcoming DNA Seminar. Put on by Forensic Bioinformatics, the seminar is entitled, "The Science of DNA Profiling" and is in Daytona, Florida from August 15-17, 2008. The seminar is designed for attorneys and experts familiar with DNA profiling to exchange information and insights. For those new to DNA, it will be an opportunity to learn what issues may be important in litigating a federal case and what experts and resources are best suited to particular cases. The seminar will cover key subjects in forensic DNA including evidence collection, laboratory procedures, transfer, identification, technical artifacts and error, juror comprehension, expert witness selection and due diligence.
The seminar looks to be geared to the DNA novice and expert alike, and it looks like there is plenty of interesting information for attorneys and investigators.

Having attended the seminar for the past 3 years as well as many others on DNA, I can vouch for the excellent quality of this one.
It is hands down the BEST, most immediately USEFUL seminar available to attorney's who litigate criminal cases involving DNA! As you mentioned it is for novices as well as the hard core veterans.
They present the material in such a way that people with NO science or math background can actually grasp the concepts being taught.
To anyone who litigates cases involving DNA, do your clients a favor and ATTEND THE SEMINAR!!
