 d in litigation contexts. Through case studies and personal insights, atte
 ndees will gain a deeper understanding of how HF/E analysis supports legal
  decision-making and public safety. Practical guidance on skill developmen
 t, career transitions, and the realities of forensic consulting will be pr

 A Q&A session with the panelists will conclude the discussion, offering op
 portunities for direct interaction with leaders in the field.\n\nTrack: Fo
