Summarize Argument

Gregory concludes that when a licensing board is established for handwriting experts, handwriting analysis by licensed practitioners will be a legitimate courtroom tool. This is based on his belief that current use of handwriting analysis as evidence is problemtic only because there isn’t a licensing board set up to deter irresponsible analysts from making exaggerated claims.

Notable Assumptions

The author assumes that once a licensing board is established, handwriting analysis will be reliable enough for the courtroom.
