Details of talk
I was fortunate to be asked to present this weekend (4 March 2017) to the NJCA conference Brave New Worlds: Challenges for Evidence in the 21st Century. It was a great opportunity to raise the problems of forensic transcription to an audience including many notable and well-respected judges – and of course an even better opportunity for me to continue my long and slow journey towards understanding of the legal perspective on issues to do with language and speech. Thanks very much to Mark Nolan, Karen Sloan and the rest of the organising committee, for a well-run and very stimulating weekend.
