The Expertise between science and law
Palabras clave:
Expertise, Science, LawResumen
When it comes to the evidence, three central questions arise. Who should bear the burden of producing them, how much proof is required, and what evidence is admissible. To the extent that advocating for new evidence or presenting it, when permitted by law, is a procedural faculty and therefore subject to estoppel, the answer to the third question changes throughout the process. For this reason, one can even unfold the answer to the third question into which are admissible by law and when each piece of evidence is admissible. Law, jurisprudence and doctrine deal with zeal and attention to these questions, in general and in specific cases or hypotheses. Still, when the analysis is deepened, one perceives in each mode of proof equally curious questions. In the case of expert evidence, it is also frequent to discuss who will produce it, when and how to produce it and how to deal with its product, the report.
