Justice systems increasingly rely on expert evidence. We are
therefore obliged to justify the courts" ability to assess this
evidence, especially when the courts must resolve disagreements
between experts or address possible bias. By reintegrating
contemporary evidence theory with applied philosophy, Deirdre Dwyer
analyses the epistemological basis for the judicial assessment of
expert evidence. Reintegrating evidence with procedure, she also
examines how we might arrange our legal processes in order to
support our epistemological and non-epistemological expectations.
Including analysis of the judicial assessment of expert evidence in
civil litigation (comparing practice in England and Wales with that
in the United States, France, Germany and Italy), the book also
provides the first detailed account of the historical development
of English civil expert evidence and the first analysis of the use
of party experts, single joint experts and assessors under the
Civil Procedure Rules.
