The Ethics of Expert Evidence: The Library of Essays on Legal Ethics and the Enforcement of Law

Autor Emma Cunliffe
en Limba Engleză Hardback – noi 2016
The articles selected for this volume represent the best of the research conducted at the intersection of law, professional ethics and expert evidence. The collection incorporates legal perspectives from a wide range of jurisdictions, peer-reviewed literature drawn from expert disciplines, and critical law and society scholarship. It offers a corrective to the tendency to quarantine discussions of the ethics of expert testimony by jurisdiction, legal field, or area of expertise. The authors challenge preconceived notions of ethical performance, offer ideas for improvement, document failures to learn from and successes to emulate. The introduction identifies common themes and illuminating differences within the multidisciplinary scholarship on the ethics of expert testimony. It also delineates the multidimensional conceptions of ethics that drive this scholarship. Placing these essays side by side illustrates that the essential elements of ethical performance are now well understood. As ever, lively debates persist and are reflected within the essays selected. Nonetheless, this collection demonstrates that the major question that remains is whether legal systems and expert communities - institutions that sometimes resist change - can find the will to implement what has been learned from decades of careful, multi-disciplinary research.

Descriere

What are the key components of a legal and institutional culture that encourages the production and use of ethical expert testimony? What is the proper balance between individual and systemic responsibility for securing ethical practice? The papers collected in this volume shed light on possible answers to these questions. Many of them also grapple with the question of whether it is possible to offer a complete answer within the constraints of existing legal systems. Collectively, these papers offer a sense of the variety and quality of work in this field.
