Sponsored by a grant from the National Institute of Justice, NCSTL offers educational programs and a database of forensic-related information.
Within the context of the promotion of justice based on sound science and technology, NCSTL focuses on raising awareness and fostering communication and understanding among the various parties interested in scientific evidence and expert testimony.
One of the primary purposes of NCSTL is to provide a resource that collects and tracks the latest available sources related to forensics and technology.
It collects and distributes bibliographic information on thousands of court decisions, pieces of legislation, legal and scientific publications, news and media features, websites and educational opportunities.
As a program at Stetson University College of Law, students can earn academic or pro bono credit by helping build the NCSTL database.
