The research of evidence law is a relatively weak link among various disciplines of law science in China. The author of this book has devoted himself to the study of evidence law for more than 20 years, and has carried out thorough studies on many of the theoretical confusions and difficulties in this field, which are fully reflected in this book. For example, this book reviews the development process of the mechanism for the decentralization of the jury’s power and the law of evidence and clarifies the hidden relationship between the two, carries out in-depth explorations in the prerequisites of the theory of responsibility for action and responsibility for results in the burden of proof, reveals their hidden fallacies and explains the root causes of the confusions that have plagued scholars for many years, studies the cognitive logic and the internal driving mechanism of "multiple identification" and provides targeted suggestions on the solution of this chronic problem, and conducts serious discussion on the issue of presumption of parent-child relationship and puts forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions. This book analyzes some typical cases and is of certain guiding significance for judicial practice in China.
