Forensic medicine is a dynamic science and there is no end to its learning. Since its inception, MLAM is striving to spread and percolate the ever growing knowledge of legal aspects of medical practice and medical aspects of law amongst all the doctors involved in medicolegal practice. Tremendous advances are taking place in the field of Forensic Medicine, which are continuously changing the concept, approach to management and the outcome of several medicolegal issues. The rapid pace of these advances makes it mandatory for doctors to keep themselves updated, so that they may apply this information in dealing with various medicolegal issues and improve the quality of medicolegal services rendered. MLAM aims to achieve this end.
