Students in Scientific Evidence Workshop visit mock crime scene on campus
Seven Stetson Law students in Professor Carol Henderson’s Scientific Evidence Workshop had an opportunity to learn firsthand what it’s like to work a crime scene investigation on Feb. 12.
Students in Professor Henderson’s Scientific Evidence Workshop conducted their own investigation of a mock crime scene on campus.
Pinellas County crime scene investigators walked the students through the process of collecting evidence at a mock crime scene on the Gulfport campus. The law students learned how evidence presented in the courtroom is collected during investigations.
“I thought it was a great experience,” said student Charles Strauss. “The hands-on experience of seeing the investigation procedures and techniques was an invaluable asset that can be used in legal practice. The class overall, but especially the crime-scene day, has fueled an interest in the forensic sciences that I will carry beyond just law school.”
