Need an appropriate ANSWER
hi,
This is really an interesting filed in law glad to hear that you have interest, well forensic attorney's have role mostly of lawyers one must have a good oral and written communication skills along with these they must be clam in situations which may seems unpleasent since crime scenes need to be seen. You must have a science or law background . Coming to your second question about education qualification well eligibilty requirements are like three year law degree and also need to complete bar exam.
Dear Ananya Chandak,
I assume that you are referring to the eligibility to be come a lawyer who is specialised in forensic sciences. If that is the case, please go through the following.
The eligibility for a BSc Forensic Science is 10+2 in science. You need a strong science background, and being good in Maths is an unsaid prerequisite. You need a BSc in any discipline to pursue a two-year MSc in Forensic Science. Punjabi University, Patiala offers a two-year MSc (Forensic Science) with specialization in forensic biology, forensic serology, forensic chemistry and forensic toxicology. Dr. Hari Singh Gour University, Sagar has MSc. (Forensic Science) as well as a PhD.
You can apply for PG Diploma courses in Forensic Science or Criminology as a graduate. Usually one-year programmes also accept non-science students. The Faculty of Science, Department of Anthropology at the University of Delhi offers a one-year PG Certificate course in Forensic Science.
After doing the above programes, depending on your aptitude, you must also do an LLB and clear the examination conducted by the Bar Council of India to practice law.
In India, the police, crime investigating agencies and the courts regularly rely upon advice of forensic experts to solve criminal cases.
Hope this satisfies your query.
The forensic attorney must be an expert in both law and forensic science, so the appropriate educational background must emphasize both. Like all attorneys, a four-year bachelor's degree, a three-year law degree and the successful completion of a written bar examination are required. As of 2013, a handful of universities in the U.S. offer forensic science degrees at the graduate level, though coursework heavy in the sciences would also provide a good foundation. Some firms might also require forensic attorneys have specialized certification -- for example, both the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and American College of Forensic Examiners Institute offer a number of workshops, conferences and forensic certification programs.
