Expertise in Regulation and Law: Applied Legal Philosophy

Gary Edmond

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 mai 2017

This collection of essays examines the multi-faceted roles of experts and expertise in and around contemporary legal and regulatory cultures. The essays illustrate the complexity intrinsic to the production and use of expert knowledge, particularly during transition from specialist communities to other domains such as policy formulation, regulatory standard setting and litigation. Several themes pervade the collection. These include the need to recognize that: expert knowledge and opinion is often complex, controversial and contested; there are no simple criteria for resolving disagreements between experts; appeals to 'objectivity' and 'impartiality' tend to be rhetorical rather than analytical; contests in expertise are frequently episodes in larger campaigns; there are many different models of expertise and knowledge; processes designed to deal with expert knowledge are unavoidably political; questions around who is an expert and what should count as expertise are not always self-evident; and the evidence rarely 'speaks for itself'.

Recenzii

'By challenging simplistic understandings of the nature of scientific knowledge and method, this fascinating set of essays demonstrates the need for a more nuanced assessment of possibilities for 'evidence-based' law-making and dispute-resolution. It should be required reading for everyone involved in the creation and application of law and legal policy.' Professor Peter Cane, Australian National University, Australia 'This timely collection brings together leading authors who offer incisive and challenging studies of the various aspects of the field, taking full account of the importance of context and of the complexity of the relationship between expert and other domains. It should be required reading for all those with an interest in the relationship between expertise, regulation and law-and these days that must surely mean most of us.' Dr. John Paterson, University of Westminster, London, UK. 'This fine collection is a "must read" for anyone interested in experts and expertise in legal and regulatory settings. First rate analysts take us on a fascinating journey, using theories of expertise, conflict, institutional design, objectivity and knowledge to illuminate real-world settings that range from the public regulation of pharmaceuticals and the environment, through forensic evidence, to the role of experts and expertise in native title land claims.' Professor Jane Stapleton, The Australian National University, Australia 'This wide-ranging collection of essays makes a fascinating contribution to the literature on expertise. The contributors show how questions of expertise are more complex than is often assumed, and demonstrate intriguing parallels between law and other regulatory fields which utilise expert knowledge.' Dr Mike Redmayne, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK. 'Edmond has brought together an outstanding group of scholars to reflect on a fundamental rethinking of the jurisprudence of expert evidence. The debates are of particu
