doing your own courtroom deductions

You know how when you're watching a procedure on Court TV, and a ballistics expert takes the stand, or a someone offers evidence based on DNA fingerprinting, and you're wondering, just what the heck does that all mean, anyway? Well, this is the site for you. Thinkquest's Reference area contains easy-to-digest definitions of the terms that pop up repeatedly during many of today's most pubicized legal showdowns. Make sure that after you select from the list of subjects (Hair and Fiber, say), you browse through the subtopics that appear at the top of the column on the left of your screen. This is great reading for wannabe detectives, and will make all your armchair trial-watching much more rewarding.
