The legal profession, writ large, has an apparent aversion to “science,” perhaps born out of what Justice Breyer described as a “lack of scientific training that might facilitate the evaluation of scientific claims or the evaluation of expert witnesses who make such claims.”
A psychologist of one sort or another for 50 years, he trained in law at the University of Detroit. He has been a member of the bar of New York, California, Michigan, Tennessee and Washington, D.C.; the Second, Sixth, Ninth and Eleventh federal courts of appeal; and the United States Supreme Court. Dr. Lorandos is a Thomson-Reuters WEST “Key Author,” his most recent work is the multivolume set, The Litigator’s Handbook of Forensic Medicine, Psychiatry and Psychology.
A licensed forensic psychologist and attorney who fiercely advocates to keep junk science out of the courtroom. His work has taken him across the nation, serving as an expert, case strategy consultant, attorney, lecturer, and author. He is a first generation American of Greek and Australian descent.
Dr. Lorandos’s legal and scholarly work on the Litigator’s Handbook on Forensic Medicine, Psychiatry, and Psychology; Cross Examination of Experts; parental alienation; and false allegations has earned him national recognition. This credibility allows him access to resources that other experts might not have — all in the name of blending good science with law.
