The 12th International Conference on Forensic Inference and Statistics (ICFIS 2026) brings together lawyers, statisticians, and forensic scientists to advance sound reasoning about forensic evidence. Rapid developments in biological, physical, chemical, and digital forensics, such as DNA profiling, fingerprint analysis, drug testing, and large-scale data analysis, continue to shape law enforcement and the justice system. ICFIS promotes rigorous statistical and logical methods, clear communication between science and law, and understanding by legal decision-makers.
