Medical jurisprudence
Medical jurisprudence or legal medicine is the branch of science and medicine involving the study and application of scientific and medical knowledge to legal problems, such as inquests, and in the field of law.〔Theodric Romeyn Beck and William Dunloop. (1825.) ''Elements of Medical Jurisprudence'', 2 ed., Oxford University Press.〕 As modern medicine is a legal creation, regulated by the state, and medicolegal cases involving death, rape, paternity, etc. require a medical practitioner to produce evidence and appear as an expert witness, these two fields have traditionally been interdependent.〔James C. Mohr. (1993.) ''Doctors and the Law: Medical Jurisprudence in Nineteenth-Century America'', Oxford University Press, New York City.〕
Forensic medicine, which includes forensic pathology, is a narrower field that involves collection and analysis of medical evidence (samples) to produce objective information for use in the legal system.〔Alfred Swaine Taylor and Frederick John Smith (ed.). (1920.) ''Taylor's Principles and Practice of Medical Jurisprudence'', 7 ed., Taylor & Francis.〕
==History==
Medical jurisprudence had a chair founded at the University of Edinburgh in 1807, first occupied by Andrew Duncan, the younger. It was imposed on the university by the administration of Charles James Fox, and in particular Henry Erskine working with Andrew Duncan, the elder.
