Julia Simon-Kerr’s New Book

Professor Julia Simon-Kerr released a new book titled Critical Evidence. The book taps into a growing body of scholarship that demonstrates evidence law is fundamentally about power, setting the boundaries of whose voices will be heard and what types of knowledge will be cognizable in courts of law in the United States. Professor Simon-Kerr says, “Through a close reading of rules and doctrine, Critical Evidence shows that evidence law must and should change in order to serve as a system that promotes truth, justice and fairness for all in the American legal system.”
