New Delhi: National Law University Delhi and Centre for Communication Governance (CCG) – have launched digital courses on forensics, mental health, and technology law and policy.
The project launched by NLU was named Project 39A in collaboration with Eleos Justice at Monash Law School, Australia. It would provide two interdisciplinary online courses: Forensic Mental Health and Criminal Justice and Decoding Forensics for Legal Professionals.
According to the institution, the main focus of the project is to foster an understanding of the use and limitations of forensics research in criminal law and the role of mental disorders in the criminal justice system.
One of the main founding members of this project Mr. Maitreyi Misra stated that through this course we can realise the barrier that prevents interdisciplinary learning which was created for students and practitioners of law.
She also said “(Thus, the courses) have been designed with the purpose of getting the different fields to speak to each other, rather than at each other in the courtroom. We have forensic scientists and forensic psychiatrists speaking to lawyers and the law, which enhances the learning experience but also has real world consequences in terms of the application to legal practice.”
