Innovations in Evidence and Proof brings together fifteen leading
scholars and experienced law teachers based in Australia, Canada,
Northern Ireland, Scotland, South Africa, the USA and 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 behavioural 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 authors nonetheless
remain united by a common purpose: to indicate how the best
interdisciplinary theorising 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...extremely useful for
experts of both criminal and civil evidence, in any country within
the civil law part of the world. Michele Taruffo, International
Commentary on Evidence ...Innovations in Evidence and Proof
constitutes a welcome and timely publication, and is essential
reading for anyone serious about developing their scholarship and
teaching within the law of evidence...the book has also much to say
to a wider academic audience about the value of multidisciplinary
and comparative scholarship. Jonathan Doak, Criminal Law Review
The fifth edition of The Criminal Process continues in the
tradition of previous editions in providing an insightful and
stimulating analysis of the key issues in criminal processes and
procedures. The authors draw on arguments from the law, research,
policy, and principle, to present an authoritative overview of this
area of study.

Expert evidence presents a number of challenges to the legal system: how can the courts ensure that the scientific evidence they admit is reliable? How should statistical evidence be presented to juries? What aspects of human nature should experts be allowed to testify on? How can the effects that adversarial tactics have on expert witnesses be restrained? This book explores these questions. Drawing on work in psychology, the philosophy and sociology of science, probability theory, forensic science, as well as on a broad spectrum of legal writings, Redmayne suggests how the challenges of expert evidence can be met.
