We are pleased to announce the lecture "Witnesses, Judges: a Revolution Untold" by Prof. Dr. Orit Malka on 28.09.2023 at 18:15 in room RAA-E-30.
Witness testimony in a legal context is commonly viewed as a form of evidence, a means to inform a judicial body of relevant facts in a given case. In this account, witnesses are only instrumental to the process of adjudication. This instrumental paradigm of testimony provides a useful account of how we think of witness testimony in courts today, but is it fit to describe witnesses’ role in earlier times as well?
