The term medico-legal refers to the intersection of medicine and law and encompasses two primary areas:

1. Legal Medicine: The application of medical and scientific knowledge to assist in legal cases, such as determining paternity, investigating causes of death, or providing evidence in cases of assault or injury.

2. Medical Law: The legal framework that governs medical practices, including issues such as malpractice, medical negligence, and patient rights.

While these areas are distinct, many legal cases involve elements of both, such as when a clinician serves as an expert witness in a malpractice lawsuit.
