This interview is part of the Institute's "Conversations with History" series, and uses Internet technology to share with the public Berkeley's distinction as a global forum for ideas.
Welcome to a Conversation with History. I'm Harry Kreisler of the Institute
of International Studies. Our guest today is Barry C. Scheck, who is Professor
of Law and Director of Clinical Education at the Benjamin Cardozo School of
Law at Yeshiva University. He is known for his landmark litigation setting standards
for forensic applications of DNA technology. Since 1988, he and his partner,
Peter Neufeld, have worked to shape the course of case law across the country,
leading to an influential study by the National Academy of Sciences on forensic
DNA testing. 
They
coauthored a book with Jim Dwyer called Actual Innocence: Five Days to Execution
and Other Dispatches from the Wrongly Convicted.
