Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline of the French Law of Evidence This Work has been prompted by the difficulty actually experienced by the Author in the conduct of international litigation in moulding evidence procured from England or America into such shape as to make it admissible in a French Court - a difficulty arising chiefly from the natural unfamiliarity of the Anglo-Saxon practitioner with rules of evidence so very dissimilar from those to which he is accustomed. It has been kept within a brief compass, partly because the subject, being of a much less technical nature in France than in England and America, is not one of great extent; partly because the Author has deemed it for the greater convenience of his readers, that he should confine within modest limits what he believes to be a first attempt at a comparative study of English and French methods of presentation of proof. His aim has been to expound his subject in language as clear and as non-technical as possible, so that in case of need the layman as well as the lawyer may possibly derive some profit from its study.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Law of Evidence The philosophy of the present age is founded on a more charitable view of human nature than was indulged in by the prejudices of our ancestors, whose rules of action were often framed in the darker ages of the human race, and by narrow minded and bigoted persons. If, says Mr. Taylor, the rules of exclusion, recognized till lately by the English law, had been really founded, as they purported to be, on public experience, they would have furnished a omost revolting pic ture of the ignorance and depravity of human nature. In rejecting the evidence of parties to the record, and other interested witnesses, the law acted on the presumption, not only that such persons, sooner than make a statement which might prejudice themselves, would commit deliberate perjury, but that, if they did so, juries would be incapable of detect ing the falsehood. A more unfounded calumny upon the veracity of Witnesses and the intelligence of juries cannot well be imagined.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of the Law of Evidence N preparing this Edition for the Press we have not departed from the lines on which the previous Editions were based. We have considered all the cases upon the subjects dealt with in this Book which have been reported since the last Edition down to April, 1904, and have incorporated such of them as we deemed of sufficient importance in this Edition, and have also incorporated a few cases reported since that date. We have eliminated certain matters mainly of historical interest, and have other wise compressed the present Edition, so that in spite of the very considerable amount of new matter introduced into this Edition it will be found to be shorter by several pages than the previous Edition.

Was, principally, to collect the decisions of the different courts in the United States, connected with the subject of the following work, the undoubted merit of which, justly entitles it to a prefer ence to all former treatises on the law of evidence. The exuberance of the subject itself, and a solicitude to Insert every thing which could be deemed useful, have swell ed the notes greatly beyond what was originally expect ed and intended; and yet the learned reader will per ceive that they might have been made still more exten sive; that much has been emitted by design, and much, no doubt, through inadvertence. All the American works of celebrity and merit have been carefully con sulted, and though some others, of a contrary descrip tion, have been entirely neglected, yet it may not be improper to apologize for a number of references to loose and obscure reporters. A few additional English authorities have been collected, and in two or three in stances it has been attempted to Supply, however imper fectly, some omissions of the author - omissions arising not from ignorance or carelessness, but from his desire to compress the work and it is uht unlikely that, upon careful examination, what might at first sight have ap peared an emission, would be found to be no other than a necessary deduction from some principle which had been before fully stated. The editor submits his la bours, such as they are, to the candour of the profes sion, and if they should be thought undeserving of ap probation, he has at least this consolation, that they can not detract from the merit of the original work.

Download or read book An Illustrated Treatise on the Law of Evidence Classic Reprint written by T. Hughes and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 740 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Illustrated Treatise on the Law of Evidence To the trial lawyer no subject in the law curriculum is of more importance than Evidence. In this branch of the law questions arise very frequently, and usually they must be answered on the spur of the moment. It is essential, therefore, that the lawyer have at his tongue's end the rules and their exceptions. Moreover, since the test of the keen lawyer is his ability to make fine legal discriminations, it is also essential that he possess a well disciplined mind in the art of applying them. In the present volume an attempt has been made to state pointedly and systematically these various rules and exceptions; and since the law is an applied science, numerous illustrations have been given to elucidate their application. Every topic is fully illustrated; every illustration is founded upon an actual case, and for each case the citation is given. With the view of securing compactness, these illustrations, instead of being scattered throughout the book, have been made a distinct part of it and placed after the text proper. This plan, it is believed, will meet with general approval. As an aid in developing ability to make fine legal discriminations the reader is earnestly advised to study carefully these illustrations and where practicable to do so to read the cases upon which they depend. In the preparation of this volume it has been the aim of the author to produce a text-book which will prove serviceable when used independently of any other work; but believing that it will also be found serviceable in connection with the study of Thayer's "Cases on Evidence" the general arrangement of topics in that work has been followed.

This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of the Law of Evidence The theory of the law is a remarkable one, and a general view of it as a whole appears to me to be very important for a right understanding of many of the practical rules which have flowed from it. It has been set forth, according to my reading of it, in the Introduction, and is further enforced by the arrangement of the whole work and the treatment of its various parts. To the practitioner as well as to the student the Law of Evidence presents some difficulties. It is not easy, for example, to define exactly the scope and limits of such heads of Evidence as Declarations as to Violence or as toviii preface. Pedigree, or Reputation as to Public and General Rights and the same is true of other titles. Special pains have been taken to present these more difficult parts of the subject in a clear and intelligible form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Scribes Book Award “Displays a level of intellectual honesty one rarely encounters these days...This is delightful stuff.” —Barton Swaim, Wall Street Journal “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. The Proof offers both timely and enduring insights.” —Martha Minow, former Dean of Harvard Law School “His essential argument is that in assessing evidence, we need, first of all, to recognize that evidence comes in degrees...and that probability, the likelihood that the evidence or testimony is accurate, matters.” —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 In the age of fake news, trust and truth are hard to come by. Blatantly and shamelessly, public figures deceive us by abusing what sounds like evidence. To help us navigate this polarized world awash in misinformation, preeminent legal theorist Frederick Schauer proposes a much-needed corrective. How we know what we think we know is largely a matter of how we weigh the evidence. But evidence is no simple thing. Law, science, public and private decision making—all rely on different standards of evidence. From vaccine and food safety to claims of election-fraud, the reliability of experts and eyewitnesses to climate science, The Proof develops fresh insights into the challenge of reaching the truth. Schauer reveals how to reason more effectively in everyday life, shows why people often reason poorly, and makes the case that evidence is not just a matter of legal rules, it is the cornerstone of judgment.
Download or read book John Henry Wigmore and the Rules of Evidence written by Andrew Porwancher and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honorable Mention, 2017 Scribes Book Award, The American Society of Legal Writers At the dawn of the twentieth century, the United States was reeling from the effects of rapid urbanization and industrialization. Time-honored verities proved obsolete, and intellectuals in all fields sought ways to make sense of an increasingly unfamiliar reality. The legal system in particular began to buckle under the weight of its anachronism. In the midst of this crisis, John Henry Wigmore, dean of the Northwestern University School of Law, single-handedly modernized the jury trial with his 1904-5 Treatise onevidence, an encyclopedic work that dominated the conduct of trials. In so doing, he inspired generations of progressive jurists—among them Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., Benjamin Cardozo, and Felix Frankfurter—to reshape American law to meet the demands of a new era. Yet Wigmore’s role as a prophet of modernity has slipped into obscurity. This book provides a radical reappraisal of his place in the birth of modern legal thought.
