Abstract

The rising rate of forensic misconduct and corporate greed presents a great challenge to ethical justice in legal systems around the world. This paper begins by defining relevant terms, including forensic misconduct, which refers to mistakes and intentional malpractices in forensic science, and corporate greed, which is characterized by profit-driven motives that have compromised ethical boundaries. The tension between these elements, therefore, mostly undermines judicial integrity and results in wrongful convictions and systemic failures. The purpose of this research will be to explore systemic flaws that enable forensic misconduct, exacerbated by corporate influence, and to propose frameworks for accountability. Central research questions include: What is the role of forensic misconduct in undermining justice? How does corporate greed increase the violation of ethics? What reforms are needed to achieve accountability? Through a wide-based literature review, the paper considers historical and contemporary illustrations of forensic miscarriages of justice, case studies of corporate influence on justice, and available ethical frameworks. The analysis, by use of case study methodology and comparative legal analysis, highlights the implications of misconduct and greed on legal outcomes. It concludes by calling for policy reforms, educational initiatives, and increased transparency measures to promote ethical integrity and restore public confidence in justice systems around the world.
