Understanding the Power of a DNA Test
Whether you're handling an immigration case requiring proof of biological relationships or a family law matter involving parentage disputes, this session will equip you with the essential knowledge to navigate DNA evidence effectively.
This session will provide solicitors with a comprehensive understanding of how DNA testing is used in legal proceedings, particularly in immigration and family law cases. We will cover key topics such as Home Office and court requirements, best practices for handling DNA evidence, and how different types of DNA testing ranging from paternity and maternity tests to extended kinship analysis can support legal arguments and case outcomes.
With advancements in DNA technology, it is important for solicitors to be aware of latest testing methodologies, including standard 23-marker tests, extended 42-marker analysis, and the cutting-edge 600-marker test for higher accuracy in complex cases. This webinar will also explore common challenges, such as chain of custody issues, result interpretation, and admissibility of evidence in court.
We will cover three case studies: Paternity testing, Extended kinship testing, and Conclusive vs inconclusive results.
