Zusatztext …a pleasure to read and a valuable stimulus and resource for teachers of evidence law…Innovations gives all of us reason to rethink how we teach evidence, and to that extent amply succeeds in its purpose. Informationen zum Autor Paul Roberts is Professor of Criminal Jurisprudence, University of Nottingham, UK; and Adjunct Professor of Law, University of New South Wales & CUPL, China. Mike Redmayne is Professor of Law at the LSE. His publications include Ashworth and Redmayne, The Criminal Process 3rd edn (OUP, 2005) and Expert Evidence and Criminal Justice (OUP, 2001). Klappentext Innovations in Evidence and Proof brings together fifteen leading scholars and experienced law teachers based in the US, Australia, Canada, Northern Ireland, Scotland, South Africa, England, and Wales to explore and debate the latest developments in Evidence and Proof scholarship. The essays comprising this volume range expansively over questions of disciplinary taxonomy, pedagogical method and computer-assisted learning, doctrinal analysis, fact-finding, techniques of adjudication, the ethics of cross-examination, the implications of behavioral science research for legal procedure, human rights, comparative law, and international criminal trials. Communicating the breadth, dynamism, and intensity of contemporary theoretical innovation in their diversity of subject-matter and approach, the contributors nonetheless remain united by a common purpose: to indicate how the best interdisciplinary theorizing and research might be integrated directly into degree-level Evidence teaching.

Innovations in Evidence and Proof is published at an exciting time of theoretical renewal and increasing empirical sophistication in legal evidence, proof and procedure scholarship. This groundbreaking collection will be essential reading for Evidence teachers, and will also engage the interest and imagination of scholars, researchers and students investigating issues of evidence and proof in any legal system, municipal, transnational or global.
