The criminal justice system is quite complex, both theoretically and procedurally. We delve into the law of evidence as an aspect of the legal system; it is an immensely packed concept and practice, but we are guided in conversation by the expertise of Dr. Florencia Belvedere from the Public Affairs Research Institute who talks us through the absolute importance of appointments at State institutions such as the NPA, which have a bearing on policing and the criminal justice system as a whole. Advocate and Acting Judge William Karam also contributes by engaging with us about the key technicalities involved in evidence law and how it legally functions as a system.
