Comparative Law of Evidence

The aim of the unit is to present a thematic and comparative study of central principles of the law of evidence and of their underlying theory. The main focus will be on evidence in criminal cases, and the comparators will be Australia, England and the USA. Major concerns of the unit are to identify the aims of the law of evidence, to analyse and evaluate the significance of constitutional and human rights in the development of the law of criminal evidence, and to discuss the respective roles of rules and discretion in decisions on the admissibility of evidence.
