Science Court: A Bibliography, The

handle is hein.journals/risk4 and id is 181 raw text is: The Science Court: A Bibliography
Jon R. Cavicchi*
This list of English language references is presented in two parts.
Part one focuses specifically on the Science Court as proposed by
Professor Arthur Kantrowitz in the mid-sixties. It should serve those
interested in gaining a thorough understanding of the origin and
development of the proposal. Part two includes references that mention
the Science Court incidentally. It presents a comprehensive collection
of articles that casually mention the proposal in assorted contexts and
should enable an etymological view of the term science court as it
evolved (or devolved) over the past two decades.
Lexis/Nexis, WESTLAW, Dialog on WESTLAW and EPIC on-line
services provided the initial pool of references. When possible, the full
text of articles was reviewed for further citations. The Dialog database
SCISEARCH was invaluable; it includes an international,
multidisciplinary index to several thousand major journals. This allowed
subject access to articles not contained in legal databases and to articles
written before the coverage of full text and bibliographic legal databases
(generally, before 1980). Few books were found, but those located
through EPIC are included.1

chapters. Finally, the compiler did not navigate the shoals of the INTERNET.
