Course Description
The law of evidence aims at an impossible target: the discovery of truth. By establishing rules for the adversary process, the drafters and judges strive for a reliable method in determining, in hindsight, what happened to whom, when, how, where, and why. The study of this process will focus on the rules and their underlying jurisprudential and empirical basis, as well as the practical way the rules are implemented. TEACHING METHOD: PROBLEM ANALYSIS WITH MIXTURE OF LECTURE, DISCUSSION, AND SIMULATION
