The jury system, by which most serious offenses are tried, creates a balance in its fact-finding process between lay standards of judgment and judicial practices. This study explicates three main principles by which these practices are governed: the desire to discover the truth, protection of the innocent from conviction--including theories of proof of reasonable doubt and prejudicial evidence--and maintenance of standards of propriety.

Review:
'This book is a most welcome addition to the literature on the law of evidence. It is a major work and one sure to have considerable influence on the way this subject is seen in the future.'
Times Higher Education Supplement
'It is well written, clearly presented, but full of thought provoking scholarship. At the same time it reads with almost the ease of a novel ... this is highly recommended reading ... Confronted with academic writing of this high quality even practical men and women can make an exception to
their usual utilitarian approach.'
The Legal Executive
`It provides the best critical introduction to the principles underlying the law of evidence.'
Mr J.A. Kimbell, King's College, University of London
`Excellent discussion of the principles clearly argued.'
Dr S. Easton, Brunel University
