This article examines the medico-legal autopsies performed in a period of nine years in a community and teaching hospital; there was a total of 900 such examinations. It records the experience of a pathologist without specialized forensic training, and suggests that much medico-legal pathology will continue to be performed by general pathologists. Recommendations are made for expansion of ancillary services, for postgraduate and refresher training, and for modifications in the legal and police system.
