DUI-OWI-OUIL ATTORNEY MIKE NICHOLS’ WORK FEATURED IN A SCIENTIFIC-LEGAL JOURNAL

By Michael Nichols

East Lansing attorney Mike Nichols, a DUI-OWI-OUIL expert, is featured in “Scientific Sleuthing Review” a journal on legal-scientific issues published by a George Washington University Law Professor. “Professor James Starrs wrote about the measurement uncertainty opinion issued by Judge Wadel in our challenge to the Michigan State Police lab’s blood alcohol analysis procedures,” said Nichols.  Nichols added: “it’s incredibly humbling to have your work gain this type of attention. I was impressed that professor Starrs acknowledged that with measurement uncertainty, you never truly KNOW what the margin of error is in a measurement process and that was a piece of Judge Wadel’s opinion that was not quite correct.”
     Dr. Starrs has been on the George Washington University staff since 1964. His forensic science research and results are presented in his book, A Voice for the Dead (2005). Professor Starrs is a distinguished fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. The article is in the Fall 2011 Scientific Sleuthing review, Vol 35, Issue 3.
     Nichols added: “It is also a cool coincidence that my first law clerk, Eric Gold, attended law school at GW.”
