Book Description
Excerpt from An Outline of the French Law of Evidence This Work has been prompted by the difficulty actually experienced by the Author in the conduct of international litigation in moulding evidence procured from England or America into such shape as to make it admissible in a French Court - a difficulty arising chiefly from the natural unfamiliarity of the Anglo-Saxon practitioner with rules of evidence so very dissimilar from those to which he is accustomed. It has been kept within a brief compass, partly because the subject, being of a much less technical nature in France than in England and America, is not one of great extent; partly because the Author has deemed it for the greater convenience of his readers, that he should confine within modest limits what he believes to be a first attempt at a comparative study of English and French methods of presentation of proof. His aim has been to expound his subject in language as clear and as non-technical as possible, so that in case of need the layman as well as the lawyer may possibly derive some profit from its study.
