Hi,
The word "forensic" comes from the "Forum". The Roman forum was a place where public debate took place. Our justice system is an adversarial system; one side (the plaintiff or prosecution) argues their side of the dispute and the other side (the defendant) argues theirs. Thus the adjective "forensic" is sometimes applied to debate, but has come into more common usage as pertaining to anything having to do with the courts. The word "toxicology" is the study of toxic things. More to the point, it is the study of toxic substances and how they affect living things. For the purposes of my practice, these toxic substances are drugs and poisons, and the living things are humans. Summing up, forensic toxicology is the study of drugs and poisons and their effects on the human body for the purposes of legal proceedings.
