El artículo explora el significado del escándalo en la práctica sacramental. La tradición moral y canónica y la sistemática codicial ofrecen pruebas significativas de la influencia del concepto; sin ...embargo, deben enfrentarse a la ofuscación y la desviación en la mentalidad posmoderna. Descifrar los elementos constitutivos del scandalum pone de relieve la conexión intrínseca del daño social con la justicia, la objetividad del prejuicio y la influencia performativa de la conducta desviada. En el ámbito sacramental, la defensa de la conciencia y de la rectitud de los agentes viene impuesta por la propia sacralidad de la acción, promoviendo la participación plena, activa y consciente de todos. Por el contrario, la pérdida del influjo comunitario y solidario de la liturgia conduce a un protagonismo solipsista de los fieles y a una indebida privatización del culto. La continuidad y coherencia entre doctrina, disciplina y práctica parece ser la garantía más segura y fiable del patrimonio celebrativo y del bonum agere pastorale.
El desafio de la busqueda de las personas victimas de desaparicion forzada comprende usualmente el de la recuperacion de la identidad de los restos que logran ser hallados. Este trabajo releva la ...dimension juridica de la identificacion y su calidad de decision acerca de la prueba de un hecho, que puede ser analizada con las herramientas conceptuales de la teoria de la prueba juridica. Sobre esa base, se aborda la pregunta sobre el estandar de prueba aplicable y se ofrece un analisis basado en la experiencia chilena reciente, en la que se ha tendido a consolidar la prueba positiva de ADN como una suerte de golden standard, exclusivo y excluyente, para la identificacion. A menudo, sin embargo, ese resultado no se puede alcanzar por deterioro del ADN en las muestras de restos obtenidos, por la escasez de las muestras dada la practica de exhumaciones clandestinas o por falta de muestras de parientes para comparacion. El trabajo explora las preguntas que se abren entonces, tanto respecto de la posibilidad de que otra clase de pruebas forenses sean aceptables y suficientes como sobre el trato que se debe dar a los restos cuya identificacion no resulta actualmente posible.

Experience the multimedia and view the links featured in the book at lawondisplay.comVisual and multimedia digital technologies are transforming the practice of law: how lawyers construct and argue ...their cases, present evidence to juries, and communicate with each other. They are also changing how law is disseminated throughout and used by the general public. What are these technologies, how are they used and perceived in the courtroom and in wider culture, and how do they affect legal decision making?In this comprehensive survey and analysis of how new visual technologies are transforming both the practice and culture of American law, Neal Feigenson and Christina Spiesel explain how, when, and why legal practice moved from a largely words-only environment to one more dependent on and driven by images, and how rapidly developing technologies have further accelerated this change. They discuss older visual technologies, such as videotape evidence, and then current and future uses of visual and multimedia digital technologies, including trial presentation software and interactive multimedia. They also describe how law itself is going online, in the form of virtual courts, cyberjuries, and more, and explore the implications of law's movement to computer screens. Throughout Law on Display, the authors illustrate their analysis with examples from a wide range of actual trials.
Esta investigación se aproxima al estudio comparado de la historia del derecho mirando aspectos de la vida y obra de John H. Wigmore. Se ofrece, primero, una definición del estudio comparado de la ...historia del derecho. En segundo lugar, se aborda un mosaico de inquietudes que Wigmore experimentó y vivió. Se explora allí un diálogo troncal del referido jurista con el derecho relativo a la prueba (evidence), un diálogo auxiliar con otras disciplinas y un hilo conductor que se presenta en su interés por la historia del derecho y el derecho comparado. Se advierte entonces sobre el papel que distintos actores pueden tener en el desarrollo de una disciplina autónoma, al tiempo que interactúan con otros actores en diversas jurisdicciones.
There are numerous cases in which magistrates failed to properly administer the competency test or to admonish complainants in terms of s 164(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977. In many of ...these cases, the magistrates nonetheless found the accused guilty based on the inadmissible evidence of the complainants. On review or appeal, however, the higher courts set the decisions of the magistrates aside because the magistrates’ decisions were based on the unreliable evidence of the complainants. While the rulings of the higher courts were legally sound, if not explained explicitly and thoroughly, they may appear unjust, clinical, harsh, inconsiderate, or even nonsensical. Such matters involve the fundamental rights of complainants and accused persons. They also result in severe consequences for complainants and accused persons, and they involve vulnerable groups such as children and mentally-ill individuals. It is therefore important that the higher courts reviewing the procedural errors of magistrates provide explicit and thorough explanations for their findings. To avoid perceptions that the decisions of the higher courts are unjust, the rulings of the courts should expressly acknowledge and address the unfortunate consequences suffered by both complainants and accused persons when a magistrate’s conviction is unsustainable because it was based on evidence that was not properly admitted. Acknowledging and addressing the injustices may help courts provide reasons for their decisions that go beyond merely stating that the complainants’ evidence is excluded because it is unreliable. Explicit reasons in such instances would go a long way in engendering and maintaining public confidence in the judicial system and enhancing public scrutiny of the current legal position.
