The Foundations of the Law of Evidence and Their Implications for Developing Countries

A Conference at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, November 21 and 22, 2014

This page represents the final installment of the Boston University International Law Journal‘s three-part series concerning Professor Allen’s proposed reforms to the Tanzania Evidence Act.  Upon submitting the final draft of his proposed evidence code and report to the Law Reform Commission of Tanzania for consideration, Professor Allen and Northwestern Pritzker School of Law hosted a conference on evidence law reform in developing countries.  Conference participants were invited to submit articles on evidence law reform for publication in the second issue of ILJ‘s 33rd volume (2015).  The ILJ selected four articles for publication from the conference, which, along with Professor Allen’s proposed code and report, may be found below. The other papers that were submitted for discussion at the conference have also been posted. Finally, this page includes Professor Allen’s two prior publications with the ILJ on evidence reform in Tanzania.

It has been an honor to publish the works of Professor Allen and his team over these past three years. We at the ILJ hope that this page commemorating Professor Allen and his team’s reform efforts provides readers with meaningful insight into the complex process of evidence reform in Tanzania.
