Forensic linguistic consulting |
|
Dr. Lorna Fadden selectively consults on cases involving language evidence in Canada and the US. Her corner of forensic linguistics is in forensic discourse analysis, and since 2008, she has been providing analysis and testimony in criminal and civil matters involving language evidence. She has worked with spoken language sources such as investigative interviews, Charter and Miranda cautions, courtroom discourse, undercover recordings, as well as written language sources including contracts, waivers, personal communication, and written statements. She has also consulted on wrongful convictions where statements to police and confessions were at issue.
After teaching linguistics for several years at Simon Fraser University, Lorna has shifted her linguistic focus to a legal one and she is also criminal defence lawyer in British Columbia and Yukon. Lorna's academic background, coupled with her legal training, uniquely qualify her to provide academically rigorous and legally sound analyses. Send her your language issue. If your problem is not in her area, she can refer you to another qualified linguist to help with your matter. Please note, Lorna does not work with pro se litigants.
