Expert evidence in criminal proceedings in England and Wales by Great Britain: Law Commission Pdf

This project addressed the admissibility of expert evidence in criminal proceedings in England and Wales. Currently, too much expert opinion evidence is admitted without adequate scrutiny because no clear test is being applied to determine whether the evidence is sufficiently reliable to be admitted. Juries may therefore be reaching conclusions on the basis of unreliable evidence, as confirmed by a number of miscarriages of justice in recent years. Following consultation on a discussion paper (LCCP 190, 2009, ISDBN 9780118404655) the Commission recommends that there should be a new reliability-based admissibility test for expert evidence in criminal proceedings. The test would not need to be applied routinely or unnecessarily, but it would be applied in appropriate cases and it would result in the exclusion of unreliable expert opinion evidence. Under the test, expert opinion evidence would not be admitted unless it was adjudged to be sufficiently reliable to go before a jury. The draft Criminal Evidence (Experts) Bill published with the report (as Appendix A) sets out the admissibility test and also provides the guidance judges would need when applying the test, setting out the key reasons why an expert's opinion evidence might be unreliable. The Bill also codifies (with slight modifications) the uncontroversial aspects of the present law, so that all the admissibility requirements for expert evidence would be set out in a single Act of Parliament and carry equal authority.

Expert Rules by Paul J. Zwier,David M. Malone Pdf

Expert Rules answers the most commonly asked questions about experts: How do you approach an expert problem? What is the impact of Daubert on expert preparation, direct, and cross? How do you structure direct examination of an expert? How do you avoid fatal blunders when you prepare an expert? Even though Daubert is almost twenty-five years old, most attorneys are only familiar with its application to the experts they see most—local doctors. Expert Rules provides attorneys with the help they need to confront new fields manned by new or unusual experts. This concise, easy-to-follow guide provides practical and in-depth information on how to deal with an expert—from finding the expert, to helping the expert prepare her report, deposing and defending the expert, conducting expert direct and cross-examination, and helping the expert prepare factual, informative, and persuasive testimony. And this fourth edition contains new rules and strategies for experts, including strategies for preparation, mining the Internet in discovery, using exhibits, highlighting key points on direct, and more effective cross-examinations.

Essays in Conveyancing and Property Law in Honour of Professor Robert Rennie by Frankie McCarthy,James Chalmers,Stephen Bogle Pdf

Professor Robert Rennie has been one of the most influential voices in Scots private law over the past thirty years. Highly respected as both an academic and a practitioner, his contribution to the development of property law and practice has been substantial and unique. This volume celebrates his retirement from the Chair of Conveyancing at the University of Glasgow in 2014 with a selection of essays written by his peers and colleagues from the judiciary, academia and legal practice. Each chapter covers a topic of particular interest to Professor Rennie during his career, from the historical development of property law rules through to the latest developments in conveyancing practice and the evolution of the rules of professional negligence. Although primarily Scottish in focus, the contributions will have much of interest to lawyers in any jurisdiction struggling with similar practical problems, particularly those with similar legal roots including the Netherlands and South Africa. As a whole, the collection is highly recommended to students, practitioners and academics.
