Jennifer L. MnookinJennifer Mnookin is the David G. Price & Dallas P. Price Professor of Law at the UCLA School of Law, and the founding co-director of the Program on Understanding Law, Science and
Evidence, UCLA. Mnookin's scholarship focuses on the interconections between evidence, science and technology, and legal and cultural ideas about proof and persuasion. She
has written on topics ranging from the history of photographic evidence to the complexities of the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment with respect to expert evidence. Much of her
recent work has focused on the problems of forensic science evidence, especially pattern identification evidence like latent fingerprint identification. She has frequently commented to the press on forensic science and evidence issues and has occasionally consulted or served as an
expert witness on the scientific foundation of fingerprint evidence. Her scholarship on forensic science was cited extensively by the National Academy of Science's 2009 report, and she has served on several working groups about forensic science, including the NIST/NIJ Expert Working Group on Human Factors in Latent Print Identification.
