Excerpt from A Manual of Medical Jurisprudence, and State Medicine: Compiled From the Latest Legal and Medical Works, of Beck, Paris, Christison, Fodere, Orfila, Etc;; Containing Part I. Medical Ethics of Ancient and Modern Times; Part II. Laws Relating to the Medical Profession, From Paris and Fonblanque, Scully, Wilcock
Medical practitioners should be aware, that all the rising barristers of our criminal courts attend lectures on legal medicine; and often does forensic fame arise from the ability with which an advocate examines a medical witness. A knowledge of medico-legal science is almost as indispensable to the one as to the other; and the coroner who is ignorant of it, is evidently incompetent to discharge his duty to the public, or to secure impartial justice to the accuser or accused. This has been incontrovertibly proved in the article on me dical evidence.
