I did not get the job. But I had the good sense to withdraw my candidacy before the school had a chance to reject me.

At page 76 of that book, he even provides a helpful table that summarizes the properties that scholarly tradition ascribes to the methods of inference and proof used in trials following the common law tradition. (But he views these attributes of inference and proof as forming an 'ideal type' rather than an actual and precise characterization of any actually existing system of juridical proof.)

However, Twining has relatively little to say about the rationality or irrationality of specific rules of evidence such as the hearsay rule and the best evidence rule

In an abstract of another paper (a still-unwritten paper that prompted the argument sketched in this paper), I offer three examples of the possible epistemological lessons of actual human social-legal practices. For example, I suggest that American proof practices, if viewed as resting on truthfinding considerations, harbour some possibly very important epistemological lessons about the relationship between truthfinding, multiple investigative hypotheses and resource constraints.

Earlier in this paper, I spoke of my yearning to extract 'timeless' lessons-relatively timeless lessons-from ontology. One possible (relatively) timeless lesson from the evolving nature of human creatures and societies may be that different individuals and societies can and will entertain different ideas about how to best find the truth about facts and about how best to reconcile the search for the truth with other objectives, preferences and aspirations. Compare my concluding comments here about the question of the eventual convergence or nonconvergence of individual or sociolegal methods for getting at the truth about facts. Simply stated, I am agnostic on the question of where all of us are headed.
