Proof in modern litigation: evidence law and forensic science perspectives

Abstract

This is a collection of the selected proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Evidence Law and Forensic Science (ICELFS 2015), held in Adelaide, South Australia, 20-23 July 2015. The Proceedings critique contemporary issues in evidence law and forensic science from the perspectives of law, forensic science, political science and cultural study. The principal focus is on the intersection of evidence laws and forensic science; in recognition that judicial decisions are dependent upon the accurate determination of facts. The search for just processes and reliable sciences is the quest for rectitude in decision-making: a concern for all courts in all countries.
