    Book SynopsisHow do we know what we think we know? The answer is evidence, but evidence is no simple thing. What counts as evidence in a scientific context or private dispute may not stand up in court. Frederick Schauer combines perspectives from law, statistics, psychology, and philosophy to assess the nature of evidence in the era of “fake news.”Trade ReviewSchauer displays a level of intellectual honesty one rarely encounters these days…This is delightful stuff, all the more so coming from an author whose political sympathies clearly lie far from the Trump family. Chapters on the state of criminology and the nature of lying are similarly engaging. -- Barton Swaim * Wall Street Journal *[Schauer’s] essential argument is that in assessing evidence, we need, first of all, to recognize that evidence comes in degrees (from weak to strong, from extraneous to relevant) and that probability, the likelihood that the evidence or testimony is accurate, matters…[He] has fascinating things to say about the reliability of eyewitnesses, hearsay and lie detectors, the efficacy of honor codes and courtroom oath taking, and the trustworthiness of letters of recommendation. -- Steven Mintz * Inside Higher Education *I would make Proof one of a handful of books that all incoming law students should read…Essential and timely. -- Emily R. D. Murphy * Law and Society Review *Schauer is inviting us to distrust ourselves, to look for an external ground in our evidence assessments, one that reaches out for empirical evidence and verifiable inferences, instead of feelings, senses, perception, and intuition…The elucidation of this value (of distrusting ourselves) is a great achievement…[A] fascinating book. -- Thomas Bustamante * Jotwell *At a time when the concept of truth itself is in trouble, this lively and accessible account provides vivid and deep analysis of the practices addressing what is reliably true in law, science, history, and ordinary life. Schauer's The Proof integrates knowledge of legal doctrine, social science studies, philosophy, and history and offers both timely and enduring insights. -- Martha Minow, former Dean of Harvard Law School and author of When Should Law Forgive?The Proof is an engaging tour of a range of knotty problems relating to evidence and reasoned inference. Fred Schauer shares a wealth of insights he has developed over several decades of teaching and writing about evidence law and the nature of proof. A pleasure to read. -- David Alan Sklansky, author of A Pattern of ViolenceA thoroughly enjoyable and accessible book on how the insights of evidence law can help all of us make better decisions in our everyday lives. A much-needed guide in a confusing world awash in information and misinformation. The Proof is sure to become a classic! -- Edward K. Cheng, Vanderbilt Law SchoolWith his uncanny ability to blend erudition and accessibility, Fred Schauer unpacks how to think about proof—what people tell us, what we see, what the experts say—in everyday life. An extraordinarily readable book with breathtaking range and clarity, The Proof is an indispensable guide for those who seek to thoughtfully navigate the world. I cannot recommend it highly enough. -- Kimberly Kessler Ferzan, University of Pennsylvania Carey Law SchoolIf you care about evidence, the search for the truth, about what we know and how we know it, you have a lot to learn from this timely and masterful book. -- Lee C. Bollinger, President and Seth Low Professor of the University, Columbia UniversityAssessing evidence: that is the essence of judgment. Schauer’s The Proof imparts the disturbing lesson that we, be we individuals or organizations, are poor judges. Fortunately, this book wields tools from law, psychology, and statistics, plus an array of historic examples and contemporary accounts, to show how we can dramatically improve as assessors. Even better, it does so with wit. -- Richard Zeckhauser, Frank P. Ramsey Professor of Political Economy, Harvard University

    Book SynopsisCivil Procedure Rules at 20 is a collection of presentations and papers to mark the 20th anniversary of the CPR coming into force, many of which were delivered orally at the CPR at 20 Conference at the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights, at Mansfield College, Oxford, in 2019. The presentations and papers have been edited and extended to provide a permanent record available to a wider audience.The book is dedicated to examining key challenges and changes facing the civil justice system, marking the 20th anniversary of the current civil procedures governing civil litigation in England and Wales. It addresses a range of technical, political, and controversial subjects on access to justice and the rules governing civil litigation, including the digitization of the justice system and the future role of artificial intelligence; the emergence of class actions; disclosure rules and reform; restrictions on Judicial Review challenges to Government decisions; closed material proceedings; and efforts to make the costs of civil litigation more affordable and proportional, including the availability of legal aid.With a Foreword by Lord Briggs, the contributions come from those best qualified to tell this story, from senior judges, practitioners, and leading academic scholars each with their own unique perspective.Trade ReviewAndrew Higgins' superbly edited Civil Procedure Rules at 20 will be of considerable interest to any practitioner.

  • A Philosophy of Evidence Law

    Oxford University Press A Philosophy of Evidence Law

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe dominant approach to evaluating the law on evidence and proof focuses on how the trial system should be structured to guard against error. This book argues instead that complex and intertwining moral and epistemic considerations come into view when departing from the standpoint of a detached observer and taking the perspective of the person responsible for making findings of fact. Ho contends that it is only by exploring the nature and content of deliberative responsibility that the role and purpose of much of the law can be fully understood. In many cases, values other than truth have to be respected, not simply as side-constraints, but as values which are internal to the nature and purpose of the trial. A party does not merely have a right that the substantive law be correctly applied to objectively true findings of fact, and a right to have the case tried under rationally structured rules. The party has, more broadly, a right to a just verdict, where justice must be understood tTrade ReviewHo's book A Philosophy of Evidence Law is an important contribution to this emerging body of literature at the interface between evidence scholarship and philosophy. This monograph is an excellent exemplar of this kind of interdisciplinary work, as it combines a deep understanding of the law of evidence with rigorous philosophical analysis, and it succeeds in showing the relevance of abstract theory to the detailed study of evidence rules and legal problems. The book is also to be commended for its breath of analysis, for it examines evidence rules of both criminal and civil law in several common law jurisdictions, with a foray into international law and continental law. * Amaya, Amalia (2009) "The Ethics of Trial Deliberation: Moral Agency in Legal Fact-Finding," International Commentary on Evidence: Vol. 7 : Iss. 2, Article 2 *Ho is admirably clear and eloquent in patiently setting out his stall and defending his thesis...It is compellingly written, and arguments are carefully cross-referenced. As a normative critique of the law of evidence, it deserves to take its place alongside recent well-known works such as Alex Stein's Foundations of Evidence Law...and Larry Laudan's Truth, Error, and Criminal Law...A Philosophy of Evidence Law: Justice in the Search for Truth is an impressive work of scholarship. * Andrew L-T Choo, The Edinburgh Law Review, Volume 13, 2009 *In summary the book embodies vast learning, makes many acute points, and in so doing has driven some of the piles preparatory to the task of bridging the gap between theory and practice in the law of evidence. * Professor Colin Tapper, Law Quarterly Review, 2009 *Ho's book is important and well worth study by evidence scholars and others interested in the morality and epistemology of legal fact-finding. * William E. O'Brian Jr, The Modern Law Review 72 (1) *This is a scholarly, well-researched and thought provoking work, providing an excellent introduction to the theoretical underpinnings of evidence law. * Andrew C. Stumer, International Commentary on Evidence, Vol 6, Issue 1 *Ho has written an erudite and timely text that lawyers and judges ought to consider reading to enhance the proper working of the judicial system, especially in the age of digital evidence * Stephen Mason, ICLQ, Vol 58 *Table of Contents1.

    Book SynopsisHandbook of Forensic Photography is the most-comprehensive, definitive reference for the use of photography in the capture and presentation of forensic evidence. The intent is to inform the reader about the most complete and up-to-date methods to capture and reproduce images that most accurately represent the evidence.With the rise in importance of forensic science, crime and accident scene documentation has likewise increased in importanceânot the least of which has been forensic photography. The need to use accepted practice and protocols to guarantee the authenticity of images for evidence documentation is paramount for using it in court. And as with any discipline, there is an art to the science of forensic photography.Contributing authors from various backgroundsâeach experts in their fieldâhave provided numerous case examples, best practices, and recommendations for recognizing, recording, and preserving evidence using cameras and the latest digital image technology, including video and other imaging technologies. Chapters present such topics as videography, drone photography, underwater photography, crime scene photography, autopsy photographs, fire documentation, forensic odontology, and more. The book closes with coverage of courtroom displays, presenting imaging evidence and expert witness testimony in the courtroom.Handbook of Forensic Photography is a must-have reference for experienced crime scene photographers, death and crime scene investigators, police, and forensic professionalsâincluding medical examiners, odontologists, engineers, and forensic anthropologistsâwho frequently need to capture investigative photographs in the course of investigations.Table of Contents1.

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisEssential reading for lawyers, judges, and expert witnesses in DNA cases, this book is an informative contribution to the interdisciplinary study of law and science. Bridging law, genetics, and statistics, it provides an authoritative history of the long and tortuous process by which DNA science has been integrated into the American legal system.Trade ReviewThis unique history of the forensic use of genetic testing, and the controversies from the earliest days to the present, is both accurate and intelligible. An acknowledged authority in the field, David Kaye uses striking case histories and excellent analogies to make the scientific issues clear to a nonspecialist. It is an impressive achievement. -- James F. Crow, University of Wisconsin–MadisonFrom the intricacies of genetics and statistics, to the niceties of the law of evidence, Kaye's sure grasp of the field has produced a fascinating critical history, though one in which the technical details never become overbearing. Both lawyers and forensic scientists will learn much from Kaye's diligent work. -- Mike Redmayne, London School of Economics and Political ScienceA cogent, fascinating history of the scientific and legal history of the most important breakthrough in the history of forensic science—DNA evidence. -- David E. Bernstein, George Mason University School of LawThe scope of Kaye's analysis, his insightful and meticulous eye for detail, the coverage of both law and science (not forgetting the math), and the spicing with human tales of crimes and academic rivalries combine to ensure the book will interest a medley of readers. As Kaye points out in his introduction, the power of DNA technology is now beyond dispute. However, media portrayals of this power are often inaccurate, while those professionals tasked with employing the technology may not possess a competent understanding of its actual strengths and limitations. The book could go a long way toward correcting these failures, were it to become essential reading for reporters, criminal investigators, legal professionals, and, ultimately, the public—who are most often characterized as demanding the increased use of DNA evidence by law enforcement. Further, Kaye's account may help forensic scientists who do not work with DNA to better understand the trials and tribulations that were weathered by forensic DNA profiling on the 'far from smooth' road to legal acceptance. With DNA hailed as the gold standard of forensic science, Kaye presents a lesson that bears learning by those disciplines or techniques currently struggling to sustain their integrity as a science and gain, or maintain, legal acceptance. DNA profiling did not become the gold standard overnight, and even gold can be tarnished if mistreated or mishandled… If we are to realize the full forensic potential of DNA to improve detection rates, convict the guilty, and exculpate the innocent, then everyone involved in the use of DNA profiling needs a proper appreciation of the technology's history, strengths, and weaknesses. This is what The Double Helix and the Law of Evidence provides… May the book get the wide readership it deserves. -- Carole McCartney * Science *Kaye is a law professor renowned for his meticulous attention to detail, careful argumentation and impressive technical mastery of statistical and scientific issues… The Double Helix and the Law of Evidence offers a detailed, authoritative accounting of the legal cases of this period and of scientific debates that ran in parallel in the pages of scientific journals. -- Simon A. Cole * American Scientist *

    Book SynopsisCombining the practical knowledge of a renowned director with the perspective of a historian and media specialist, Christian Delage explores the conditions and consequences of using film for the purposes of justice and memory by examining archival footage from war crime trials from Nuremberg to the present.Trade Review"While other scholars have focused on film-as-evidence or trial-as-film, Christian Delage, a historian and documentary filmmaker, addresses both in this meticulously researched book. Tracing the double history of the use of film in legal cases and the filming of court proceedings, Delage reveals how what we see on film in and of human rights trials is a modern construction rooted in the Holocaust and its aftermath. . . . Caught on Camera will be of interest to anyone wanting a historical lens through which to analyze our culture's current obsession with cell phone-generated footage and its potential to transform adjudication for human rights abuse." * American Historical Review *"Caught on Camera provides an invaluable overview of the role films played in the historic international criminal trials that so indelibly marked the second half of the twentieth century. Ranging in scope and rich in reference, this admirable book shows how prosecutors used films as evidence in court and how court sessions were themselves filmed and widely diffused for public audiences. As the international community continues to struggle with the legacies of Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda, and Darfur, the original perspectives Christian Delage offers will helpfully inform the ongoing quest for justice." * Stuart Liebman, Professor Emeritus, CUNY Graduate Center *"Meticulously researched and highly topical, Caught on Camera is the first scholarly work to tell the story of the impact of film on advocacy, trials, and legal judgment. Historian, filmmaker, critic and adjunct professor of law, Delage is ideally qualified to uncover the extraordinary narrative of the introduction of film into legal evidence in the Nuremberg trials and its subsequent and expanding role in tribunals and international criminal proceedings to the present day. In a meticulously researched and fluently argued analysis, this book not only exposes the link between visual evidence and war crimes trials but also, and even more surprisingly, shows how film has subtly and persistently impacted the staging, process, performance, and even architecture of law." * Peter Goodrich, Cardozo School of Law *Table of ContentsEditor's Note Introduction PART I.

    Book SynopsisTrade ReviewIn this book, two of the worlds most knowledgeable experts on psychology and law show that the legal rules of evidence are based largely on conjectures about how people think about evidence. Saks and Spellman persuasively demonstrate that some of those conjectures are well-founded, some not, and some are completely at odds with the scientific literature. Who knew? -- Jonathan J. Koehler,Beatrice Kuhn Professor of Law, Northwestern University School of LawMichael J. Saks and Barbara A. Spellman have succeeded brilliantly in doing what too few have attempted and many fewer still have accomplished. This book casts a bright light onto the dusty suppositions of evidence doctrine and employs contemporary psychological science to take the measure of the modern rules. Elegantly written and comprehensive in scope, Saks and Spellmans work establishes a new standard for interdisciplinary scholarship. -- David L. Faigman,John F. Digardi Distinguished Professor of Law, University of California, HastingsAnyone seeking a treasure trove of new ideas will come away motivated, as the authors admirably achieve their noble goal of bringing attention to the need for more psychological research related to the Rules. * PsycCRITIQUES *

    Book SynopsisExplores the challenges of governing in a post-truth worldThe relationship between truth and politics has rarely seemed more troubled, with misinformation on the rise, and the value of expertise in democratic decision-making increasingly being dismissed. In Truth and Evidence, the latest installment in the NOMOS series, Melissa Schwartzberg and Philip Kitcher bring together a distinguished group of interdisciplinary scholars in political science, law, and philosophy to explore the most pressing questions about the role of truth, evidence, and knowledge in government. In nine timely essays, contributors examine what constitutes political knowledge, who counts as an expert, how we should weigh evidence, and what can be done to address deep disinformation. Together, they address urgent questions such as what facts we require to confront challenges like COVID-19; what it means to #BelieveWomen; and how white supremacy shapes the law of evidence.

    Book SynopsisIdentifies and evaluates the psychological choices implicit in the rules of evidenceEvidence law is meant to facilitate trials that are fair, accurate, and efficient, and that encourage and protect important societal values and relationships. In pursuit of these often-conflicting goals, common law judges and modern drafting committees have had to perform as amateur applied psychologists. Their task has required them to employ what they think they know about the ability and motivations of witnesses to perceive, store, and retrieve information; about the effects of the litigation process on testimony and other evidence; and about our capacity to comprehend and evaluate evidence. These are the same phenomena that cognitive and social psychologists systematically study. The rules of evidence have evolved to restrain lawyers from using the most robust weapons of influence, and to direct judges to exclude certain categories of information, limit it, or instruct juries on how to think aboutTrade ReviewIn this book, two of the worlds most knowledgeable experts on psychology and law show that the legal rules of evidence are based largely on conjectures about how people think about evidence. Saks and Spellman persuasively demonstrate that some of those conjectures are well-founded, some not, and some are completely at odds with the scientific literature. Who knew? -- Jonathan J. Koehler,Beatrice Kuhn Professor of Law, Northwestern University School of LawMichael J. Saks and Barbara A. Spellman have succeeded brilliantly in doing what too few have attempted and many fewer still have accomplished. This book casts a bright light onto the dusty suppositions of evidence doctrine and employs contemporary psychological science to take the measure of the modern rules. Elegantly written and comprehensive in scope, Saks and Spellmans work establishes a new standard for interdisciplinary scholarship. -- David L. Faigman,John F. Digardi Distinguished Professor of Law, University of California, HastingsAnyone seeking a treasure trove of new ideas will come away motivated, as the authors admirably achieve their noble goal of bringing attention to the need for more psychological research related to the Rules. * PsycCRITIQUES *

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe way a crime is defined is through criminal investigation. Criminal investigation is a multi-faceted effort that involves the study of facts presented by a criminal act or pattern of criminal conduct. These facts are then used to identify, locate and prove the guilt or innocence of a person or persons. Criminal investigation is usually carried out by a law enforcement agency using all of the resources available to discover, locate or establish evidence proving and verifying the relevant facts for presentation to a Court or other judicial authority. But how are these facts discovered? What resources do law enforcement use to uncover them? What is the process for a successful criminal investigation? In fact, how can we even define what is “criminal” in the first place? Daniel A. Reilly answers all these important questions, while providing the step by step process to gather facts, information, data, and evidence. Finding the Truth with Criminal Investigation is intended to answer all of the questions of who, what, where, when, why and how a violent crime occurred and/or was committed. It is intended for students in the field of criminal justice who wish to become criminal investigators – exposing them to the tools and processes needed to conduct a proper criminal investigation, but also real-life of working to support others as a team. Reilly spent a great deal of his professional life working on homicide cases, and he offers students his expertise in criminal investigation by successfully incorporating real-world context throughout this book.Trade ReviewDan Reilly has created a comprehensive and informative book with Finding the Truth with Criminal Investigations. Reilly has taken the time to not only detail the important steps and pitfalls in law enforcement criminal investigations but, to weave his work and life experience into cautionary lessons and instruction a layperson can understand. As a retired law enforcement professional and instructor in criminal investigations, I found a plethora of text books on this subject but, not one that presents the material with the tradecraft so clearly explained and detailed. In my opinion, Reilly’s book is a well-organized compilation of facts and experience, honed from years of professional public service to citizens from all walks of life – most especially the victims and their friends and families. Law enforcement professionals take pride in establishing integrity and a sense of duty to their work but the most significant and singular thread is their desire to serve the victims. Finding the Truth with Criminal Investigations: Suspect, Subject, Defendant follows that tradition as well. -- Steven D. Remick, Retired 1st Lieutenant, Loudoun County Sheriff's Office, VAReilly has fashioned an ambitious text that follows the development, progression, and closure of criminal investigations through the experienced lens of a seasoned specialist in the field. -- Lindsay Nelson, MS, Department of Criminal Justice, California State University, BakersfieldAs a homicide detective for 18 years, and an adjunct college instructor for 15, I really appreciate this text. I believe the goal of every investigation is only to prove the truth, and I really appreciate the title of this text as well as the content! Finding the Truth with Criminal Investigation is practical, real, and understandable without any trendy filler. -- Ivan M. Kaminsky, Adjunct Professor, Administration of Justice, Mesa Community CollegeFinding the Truth with Criminal Investigation lays the foundation for the untrained investigator. It is a how-to book for the student lacking criminal investigation experience. Reilly covers the main areas needed for an investigation, covering evidence, criminal law, forensic evidence, constitutional law and interviewing techniques. Also emphasizes that criminal investigations is a team effort. -- Michael J. Palmiotto, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Wichita State University

    Book SynopsisDespite the increasing use of DNA evidence and other sophisticated forensic techniques in crime solving, fingerprints still serve as an indispensable tool of modern-day criminal investigation. This fascinating book, originally published in 1892, represents the first thorough investigation of this anatomical peculiarity and its application in establishing individual identity for use in law enforcement. Sir Francis Galton, a cousin of Charles Darwin and a member of the Royal Geographical Society, had already made a reputation for himself as an explorer of Africa and the founder of the new field of eugenics when he turned his attention to the subject of fingerprints. Through extensive research at his "anthropometric laboratory," Galton laid out an elementary system of classifying fingerprints based on observed patterns of arches, loops, and whorls. Using meticulous drawings as well as photographs of ink prints, he showed that "the numerous bifurcations, origins, islands, and enclosures in the ridges that compose the pattern, are proved to be almost beyond change." Thus, he established a sure method of individual identification. Galton's system was later modified by Sir Edward R. Henry, who became chief of police in London. In 1901, Scotland Yard officially adopted the Galton-Henry system of fingerprinting. Today, it is the most widely used system of fingerprint classification in the world. This classic work will make a welcome addition to the libraries of historians, criminologists, and fans of true crime and forensic science.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Previous Use of Finger Prints; Methods of Printing; The ridges and their Uses; Patterns; Their Outlines and Cores; Persistence; Evidential Value; Peculiarities of the Digits; Methods of Indexing; Personal Identification; Heredity; Races and Classes; Genera.
