Synopsis
Evidence and proof, narrative and reasoning in legal discourse and the reform of criminal evidence have been the subject of much debate in recent years. This book offers an alternative approach to the rationalist tradition from three perspectives - the historical, the analytical and the applied. The essays are linked and each examines a particular topic in detail. The author has attempted to suggest ideas for further research, and to propose connections between areas in the hope of helping students and theorists to find new perspectives on familiar subjects.

Review
' … Twining seems a born teacher. His texts are highly accessible although they deal with theories that are sometimes very complicated and abstract … [I]t is not only the language that makes the text so attractive and accessible, it is also the use of examples and smart, humorous petites histoires.' Professor Hans Nijboer, American Journal of Comparative Law
Book Description
These essays develop a readable, coherent historical and theoretical perspective about problems of proof, evidence, and inferential reasoning in law. 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.
