Maastricht Foundations of Law Colloquia

The Department of Foundations of Law in the Faculty of Law cordially invites you to the next meeting of our Maastricht Foundations of Law Colloquia. On 25 June, our speaker is Johann Benfeld from Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso, Chile - Title: Evidentiary Facts, Evidentiary Decisions, and Ideology. Wróblewski’s Formula for the Valuation of Judicial Evidence

Abstract: 
This article presents the typology of evidentiary facts proposed by Jerzy Wróbleski. From it, it studies the way in which such typology is normatively incorporated in an evidentiary formula whose purpose is to rationally justify an evidentiary decision in the legal field. Finally, it is shown that the choice and justification of any model of judicial evidence assessment responds to an ideological question.


The colloquium’s format is pre-read. Those attending are expected to have read the text in advance. The draft will be circulated in advance.

Convenors:
Lukasz Dziedzic
Sebastian Reyes Molina
