Standards and Methods of Proof Article Swipe
This Comment responds to Jacopo Della Torre’s recent article advocating Taking the Evolution of the Standards of Proof for Criminal Conviction Seriously. Having summarised Della Torre’s central thesis and clarified (and largely endorsed) his contextual approach to investigating the criminal standard of proof, I offer—from the perspective of an English common lawyer—some methodological caveats, conceptual reservations and minor textual corrections to Della Torre’s illuminating comparative legal history.
