Whitesmann’s Appreciation Of Evidence In Civil & Criminal Trial by Yogesh V Nayyar

Description

Appreciation of evidence is the judicial process of assessing the worth, value, and quality of oral and documentary evidence (including electronic records and physical objects) to determine facts, differing significantly between civil and criminal trials: civil cases use the “preponderance of probabilities” (more likely than not), while criminal cases require proof “beyond a reasonable doubt,” focusing on witness credibility, corroboration, and logical consistency to find truth, ensuring justice by weighing evidence against legal standards.
