Abstract
Forensic medicine, also known as legal medicine, is a multidisciplinary science
that serves the legal system by applying medical knowledge to criminal and civil law.
Its integration with various scientific disciplines ensures the accuracy, objectivity, and
effectiveness of investigations and legal proceedings. This paper explores the
interrelationship between forensic medicine and other sciences such as pathology,
toxicology, genetics, psychology, criminology, and law. Understanding these
connections enhances the capabilities of forensic experts and contributes to justice.
