Learning Objectives
The course aims at introducing the evidence rules, which is really a sort of sub-proceedings in the criminal trial. We intent to explain the ratio of legal rules, depending also on the framework they are part of. The course will allow the students to address the major legal issues on evidence. The aim is to highlight both, the major issues that arise in relation to the evidence and the sensitivity to the principles of criminal procedural law contained in the Constitution and to the guarantees provided by international conventions related to personal rights.

Course program
The course will cover the matter of evidence, which is one of the most fascinating and complex matters of criminal procedure. The full understanding of the subject requires, in addition to basic knowledge acquired during the institutional course on Criminal Procedural Law, a thorough study of the rules governing the determination of the fact. We will analyze the fundamental principles of criminal trial with
particular reference to the constitutional reform of “due process” and to the so-called “principio dispositivo attenuato”, which is typical of the Italian system. Furthermore, we will address the basic steps of the
judiciary syllogism and of probative inference, the principle of free persuasion, the reasonable doubt as rule of evidence and of judgment.
The central part of the course will cover common features and singularities that characterize the declarative and scientific evidence. We will dedicate a special focus on new scientific technologies and on atypical evidences: of them we will discuss the limits resulting from the exclusion rules. In view of the need to adapt Italian legislation to the dictates of the European Convention on Human Rights, as interpreted by the relevant Court, the last part of the course will focus on the discipline of the statements made out of the cross examination and how the exclusionary rule works on them. In order to envisage a comprehensive overview of the subject, considered also in terms of living law, the teaching method will consist in a critical examination of positive discipline and of relevant jurisprudence.
There will be a visit to the laboratories of the Scientific Police of Florence and the participation in a hearing at the Constitutional Court.
