Medicolegal or legal medicine is the application of medical knowledge to legal problems. It is applied in cases of death, rape, paternity, etc. Here, the doctor has to produce evidence and has to appear as an expert witness. It also includes forensic medicine, which helps in the collection and analysis of medical samples, which can be used for legal purposes. Medicolegal also includes legal and ethical duties of doctors, as they should act in their patients best interest. Failure to do so can be charged in a court of law. Some other aspects include providing certification of death or assessing the possible causes of death.
