Wrightsman, Jr., by presenting current theorizing and research findings on issues that define the field of psychology and law. Ongoing topics in witness behaviors, suspect identification, and juror decision making illustrate how psychology and law complement and also conflict at various stages in legal processes. The book also sheds light on evolving areas such as DNA exonerations, professional trial consulting, and jury selection strategies, and the distinct challenges and opportunities these issues present. Noted contributors to the book include Wrightsman himself, who offers salient observations on the field that he continues to inspire. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatured among the topics:  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe credibility of witnesses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsychological science on eyewitness identification and the U.S. Supreme Court.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFalse confessions, from colonial Salem to today.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentifying juror bias: toward a new generation of jury selection research.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaw and social science: how interdisciplinary is interdisciplinary enough?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRace and its place in the American legal system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its diverse mix of perspectives and methodologies, \u003ci\u003eThe Witness Stand and Lawrence S.
