Twining presents a coherent historical and theoretical perspective on issues related to proof, evidence, and inferential reasoning in law.
Readers will find a collection of essays that, while self-standing, are interconnected to advocate for a broad inter-disciplinary approach to evidence in litigation. The revised edition includes a new introduction and expands on key themes such as narrative, argumentation, and the teaching of evidence. By emphasizing the relationship between legal evidence and common sense, this work aims to make the subject more accessible and engaging for those interested in law, jurisprudence, and legal history.
Official synopsis Publisher
The Law of Evidence has traditionally been perceived as a dry, highly technical, and mysterious subject. This book argues that problems of evidence in law are closely related to the handling of evidence in other kinds of practical decision-making and other academic disciplines, that it is closely related to common sense and that it is an interesting, lively and accessible subject. These essays develop a readable, coherent historical and theoretical perspective about problems of proof, evidence, and inferential reasoning in law. Although each essay is self-standing, they are woven together to present a sustained argument for a broad inter-disciplinary approach to evidence in litigation, in which the rules of evidence play a subordinate, though significant, role. This revised and enlarged edition includes a revised introduction, the best-known essays in the first edition, and chapters on narrative and argumentation, teaching evidence, and evidence as a multi-disciplinary subject.
