Los Angeles, CA December 1, 2017-

Anthony T. Nehme was recently awarded the Forensic Lawyer-Scientist Designation as recognized by the Chemistry and the Law (CHAL) division of the American Chemical Society (ACS). This is the highest form of scientific designation available for lawyers. There are only 50 lawyers nationwide that have received this designation, and Anthony is the only lawyer in all of Los Angeles to earn this prestigious designation.

With more than 161,000 members, the American Chemical Society (ACS) is the world’s largest scientific society and one of the world’s leading sources of authoritative scientific information. The Chemistry and the Law Division (CHAL) has over 1400 members. A nonprofit organization, chartered by Congress, ACS is at the forefront of the evolving worldwide chemical enterprise and the premier professional home for chemists, chemical engineers and related professions around the globe. The ACS is dynamic and visionary, committed to “improving people’s lives through the transforming power of chemistry.”  This vision ─ developed and adopted by the ACS Board of Directors after broad consultation with the membership ─ fully complements the ACS Mission statement, which is “to advance the broader chemistry enterprise and its practitioners for the benefit of Earth and its people.”

“Like ‘poet-warrior’ or ‘philosopher-king,’ there are lawyers of a new breed known as the ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist. The ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist is one who uses validated and legitimate science for the benefit of justice. These are lawyers who study the science and apply it legitimately in the courtroom. They expose invalid or non-validated science and use valid science in the courtroom. They eschew the smoke and mirrors techniques of old and embrace the science for the benefit of all.”
