This panel examines discussions about evidence in legal proceedings. Different legal orders have developed varying concepts of evidence that are linked to notions of personhood, fact, and truth. These raise new questions also for the current debate about evidence in anthropology.

Convenors: Gerhard Anders (University of Edinburgh) and Julia Eckert (University of Bern)
