Evidence and Proof in Scotland

Practising lawyers know that the facts of a case are often of greater importance in determining its outcome than is the law, yet this insight is often neglected in Evidence scholarship. In focussing on how facts are dealt with in legal processes, Professor Nicolson offers fresh and fascinating perspectives. -- Pamela R. Ferguson, School of Law, University of Dundee
This is a thought-provoking and significant work. The author focusses on fact-finding rather than the complex evidentiary rules which are the subject of most legal scholarship. The book demands to be read by every scholar of Scottish evidence and deserves attention from academics in all common-law jurisdictions. -- Peter Duff, Aberdeen University Law School, Chiang Mai University Law Faculty
