La Preuve, Les Techniques Modernes Et Le Respect Des Valeurs Fondamentales, Wafe Maclauchlan May 1991

La Preuve, Les Techniques Modernes Et Le Respect Des Valeurs Fondamentales, Wafe Maclauchlan

Dalhousie Law Journal

In La preuve, les techniques modernes et le respect des valeurs fondamentales, Professor Pierre Patenaude has produced a scholarly and practical inquiry into the question of how law responds to science. This book raises questions of the gathering, the admissibility and the reliability of evidence through modem techniques such as electronic surveillance, breathalyzer tests, lie detectors, radar, the administration of truthinducing drugs, and hypnosis. It combines a thoughtful examination of values underlying the law of evidence with an introduction to the complexities and the frailities of scientific investigative techniques.

The Admissibility Of Dna Evidence, David H. Kaye Jan 1991

The Admissibility Of Dna Evidence, David H. Kaye

Journal Articles

In contrast to the widespread acceptance of red blood cell grouping, blood serum protein and enzyme analysis, and HLA typing, the evidentiary status of forensic applications of recombinant-DNA technology is in flux. A proper evidentiary analysis must attend to the fact that there is no single method of DNA typing. As with the more established genetic tests, the probative value of the laboratory findings depends both on the procedure employed and the genetic characteristics that are discerned. This paper describes some of these procedures and the theory that lies behind them, and then considers the developing case law. Given the …


Credal Probability, David H. Kaye Jan 1991

Credal Probability, David H. Kaye

Journal Articles

This article responds to Paul Bergman and Al Moore's doubt that ideal triers of facts would be Bayesians. They argue that Bayes' rule, and probability theory in general, fails as a theoretical factfinding model. While probability has long been an accepted measure of belief in empirical propositions and the validity of inductive arguments, this articles addresses Bergman and Moore's doubts directly. It shows how their examples demonstrating the "frequentist" character of Bayesian methodology or the fallacies in Bayesian analysis are easily handled without a frequentist interpretation of probability. Then it shows that an ideal juror's partial beliefs will conform to …

This Article is organized along the following lines. Part I is a general discussion of the Convention. It includes a factual background, a discussion of principle provisions of the Convention, a description of the temporal and geographical spheres of application of the Convention.

Although article 7 of the Convention generally states an approach to interpretation, further elucidation is necessary to ensure uniformity of application. Accordingly, Part II discusses the various approaches to treaty interpretation …

Automatic Generation Of A Legal Expert System, Layman E. Allen, Charles S. Saxon Jan 1991

Automatic Generation Of A Legal Expert System, Layman E. Allen, Charles S. Saxon

Book Chapters

The use of the AUTOPROLOG system to generate automatically a legal expert system is described in this chapter. The interpretation of a statutory or other legal rule by one expert (or by the consensus of a group of experts) expressed in a normalized form is the only input needed by the AUTOPROLOG system (which includes Turbo Prolog, the AUTOPRO program, and some data files) to produce automatically a computer program that is an expert system for that legal rule. The process for producing a legal expert system for Section 213.1 of the Modal Penal Code, which deals with rape and …
