This chapter begins with a brief discussion of the legal profession's fascination with science. It then cites law's attempts to solve problems through science, which are frequently unsuccessful. Core problems at the intersection of law and science flow not from the changing nature of science but from the changing nature of law. An overview of the subsequent chapters is presented.
