“…The practice of science depends on sound law – law that at a minimum supports science by offering the scientist breathing space, within which he or she may search freely for the truth on which all knowledge depends. It is equally true that the law itself increasingly requires access to sound science. The need arises because as society becomes more dependent for its well-being on scientifically complex technology, we find that this technology increasingly underlies legal issues of importance to all of us…. We see this conclusion illustrated throughout the legal system…” Supreme Court Justice Stephen “The Interdependence of Science and Law,”
