Evidence and Proof Group

Our aim is to promote research, scholarship and education in the fields of Evidence and Proof within both criminal and civil jurisdictions, working in cooperation with professional and academic lawyers as well as those from relevant non-legal disciplines.

'Evidence and Proof' covers such subjects as the process of proof; accuracy in fact-determination; probability theory; adversarial, inquisitorial and alternative dispute resolution processes; pre-trial, trial and post-trial procedure; the roles of judges, magistrates, jurors and witnesses, including expert witnesses; and the use of 'special advocates' in relation to secret evidence.

It also covers non-legal disciplines that have a bearing on Evidence and Proof including, for example, sociology, psychology and the forensic sciences.

Subject group lead: Associate Professor Paul McKeown
