Summary:In many cases our ability to remember our experiences is crucial for the justice system. The problem, though, is that perception and memory are fallible. How often do our eyes or memories deceive us? Is there some way to avoid these errors, perhaps by gathering our memory-based evidence in just the right way?

Daniel Reisberg tackles these questions, drawing on the available science and also his experience in training attorneys.
