Forensic Linguistics Casebook
This wiki was originally set up by Tim Grant of the Centre for Forensic Linguistcs, Aston Univeristy, UK. As with all wikis, it is hoped that as it develops, there will be multiple contributors.
The purpose of this wiki is to provide a place to collect together a list of cases to which forensic linguists have contributed.
The cases are listed in chronological order. If a case did not come to trial it could be added to the list by the date of the linguist's report - it is hoped that this list will be inclusive rather than exclusive. Some explanation of the nature of involvement could be indicted next to the case name but should be made clear on the main page for each case.
To find out how to add your own case go to the Help: Contents page.
Please note as this is a wiki, and therefore subject to unrestricted, anonymous editing, entries may be substantially incorrect. Do not use the contents of this site for academic purposes or legal casework without first doing your own checking!
