| Item Description: | Includes bibliographical references (p. [267]-313) and index "Where there's muck there's brass": the rise of the modern expert witness -- The common liar, the damned liar, and the scientific expert: the growing problem of expert testimony -- Who shall decide where experts disagree? The Nineteenth-century debates -- Blood will out: distinguishing humans from animals and scientists from charlatans -- The authority of shadows: the law and x-rays -- Science unwanted: the law and psychology Annotation Are scientific expert witnesses partisans, or spokesmen for objective science? This ambiguity has troubled the relations between scientists and the legal system for more than 200 years. Modern expert testimony first appeared in the late eighteenth century, and while its use steadily increased throughout the nineteenth century, in cases involving everything from patents to X-rays, the respect paid to it steadily declined, inside and outside of the courtroom. With deep learning and wry humor, Tal Golan tells stories of courtroom drama and confusion and media jeering on both sides of the Atlantic, until the start of the twenty-first century, as the courts still search for ways that will allow them to distinguish between good and bad science |

Harvard University Press 2004 1 Online-Ressource (viii, 325 p.) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (p. [267]-313) and index "Where there's muck there's brass": the rise of the modern expert witness -- The common liar, the damned liar, and the scientific expert: the growing problem of expert testimony -- Who shall decide where experts disagree? The Nineteenth-century debates -- Blood will out: distinguishing humans from animals and scientists from charlatans -- The authority of shadows: the law and x-rays -- Science unwanted: the law and psychology Annotation Are scientific expert witnesses partisans, or spokesmen for objective science? This ambiguity has troubled the relations between scientists and the legal system for more than 200 years. Modern expert testimony first appeared in the late eighteenth century, and while its use steadily increased throughout the nineteenth century, in cases involving everything from patents to X-rays, the respect paid to it steadily declined, inside and outside of the courtroom. With deep learning and wry humor, Tal Golan tells stories of courtroom drama and confusion and media jeering on both sides of the Atlantic, until the start of the twenty-first century, as the courts still search for ways that will allow them to distinguish between good and bad science Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Expertises / Angleterre / Histoire Expertises / États-Unis / Histoire POLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / Judicial Branch bisacsh LAW / Legal Services bisacsh LAW / Civil Procedure bisacsh Gerechtelijke technologie gtt Gerechtelijke geneeskunde gtt Gerechtelijke chemie gtt Bewijsrecht gtt Deskundigen gtt Criminalistiek gtt Evidence, Expert fast Expert Testimony / England Expert Testimony / United States Science / legislation & jurisprudence / England Science / legislation & jurisprudence / United States Geschichte Naturwissenschaft Evidence, Expert England History Evidence, Expert United States History Sachverständigenbeweis (DE-588)4131240-5 gnd rswk-swf Rechtsgutachten (DE-588)4177223-4 gnd rswk-swf USA Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Sachverständigenbeweis (DE-588)4131240-5 s Geschichte z 1\p DE-604 Rechtsgutachten (DE-588)4177223-4 s 2\p DE-604 USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g 3\p DE-604 4\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=282386 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
