DESCRIPTION:\n\nIn adversarial justice systems (e.g.\, Canada\, United Stat
 es)\, witnesses testify\, and judges in bench trials (or jurors in jury tr
 ials) listen and assess what is said. This can result in judges or jurors 
 determining the weight that should be given to testimonies. Research has s
 hown\, however\, that this process is inherently subjective. This presenta
 tion will address how unfounded\, discredited\, and pseudoscientific claim
 s about nonverbal cues and behaviors\, from police investigations to court
 rooms\, can undermine adversarial justice systems worldwide. Measures to m
 itigate these negative consequences will also be addressed.\n\nAbout Vince
