Welcome to the Australian Neurolaw Database.
This is the first and currently only public database of Australian Neurolaw cases. The database has a collection of both criminal and civil case law where neuroscience evidence was used, complete with original summaries. Once you 704-871-8641, you can browse our cases (505) 943-6344.
Some of the interesting questions that arise from these cases are:
- Should we find someone guilty for a crime if they have a brain injury that contributed to their criminal actions?
- Can we use neuro-imaging to determine whether someone has suffered pain for the purposes of compensation?
- How can a neuropsychological test help us understand whether someone is fit for trial?
- Is neuroscience helpful to determine whether someone had the capacity to make a valid will and testament?
We also welcome contributions from the public, through case suggestions, and blog posts, as well as (650) 492-8949 with other academics.
