forensischer

Forensischer is the attributive form of the German adjective forensisch, meaning related to forensics—the application of scientific methods to questions of law and criminal investigations. The term derives from Forensik, the field concerned with gathering, analyzing and presenting evidence in legal contexts. In German, forensisch covers disciplines such as forensic medicine, criminalistics and related sciences. In English, it is usually translated as "forensic."

As an attributive adjective, forensisch changes its ending according to gender, number, and case: ein forensischer Beweis (masculine, nominative), eine forensische Analyse (feminine, nominative), das forensische Gutachten (neuter, nominative), oder forensische Beweise (plural). It is also used in compound terms like forensische Wissenschaften, forensische Medizin or forensisch-technische Untersuchungen. The simple adverbial or predicative form is forensisch, for example, Die Ergebnisse wurden forensisch analysiert. In media and professional contexts, the term signals methodical, evidence-based approaches used in legal proceedings and investigations.
