    ALICAN B. KARIM

    Instructor
    I: Introduction
    Questioned document examination is a branch of forensics which focuses on the analysis of
    documents which are disputed. A questioned document examiner will look at the document in
    question and use a variety of techniques to analyze it, and he or she may even be called as a
    witness in a case, depending on the outcome of the examination. In forensic science, questioned
    document examination is the examination of documents potentially disputed in a court of law. Its
    primary purpose is to provide evidence about a suspicious or questionable document using
    scientific processes and methods. Evidence might include alterations, the chain of possession,
    damage to the document, forgery, origin, authenticity, or other questions that come up when a
    document is challenged in court.
