Synopsis

When Scottish doctors prepare a medical report for use in the criminal courts, they must sign it under the traditional oath 'On soul and Conscience'. This book is the history of one of the most important centres of forensic medicine in Europe - the department of Forensic Medicine and Science at the University of Glasgow. Since 1839, the university has taught the basic techniques of forensic medicine to generations of students in medicine and law; but it is better know to the public through its work in detecting crime.
