"While attending the forum, I learned a lot about our judicial government and the impact of dealing with our legal issues in today's society," said Ebbert.
"This forum was an awesome opportunity for me to meet and interact with new people and become educated about the science in today's legal system. The forum enabled me to strengthen my career choice in the forensic field."
