  • Workshop: Intermediate verdicts in criminal justice and beyond

    Vera Anstey Room (VAR) First floor, Old Building, Houghton Street, LSE, United Kingdom
    Seminars 

    The binary verdict system, that is, a decision-making arrangement comprising a single standard of proof and two possible verdicts, is often taken for granted by those operating in jurisdictions that feature this system. England and Wales are such a jurisdiction. There appears to be a widespread view that the reasons for endorsing the binary system are self-evident, such that there is no need for articulating them. The study of intermediate verdicts (the Scottish ‘not proven’, in primis), and of the debates surrounding them, is a healthy reminder that alternatives to the binary system do exist and that, therefore, a justification for such a system should be given, instead of being merely assumed. By addressing the question whether intermediate verdicts can be justified, with this workshop we aim to overcome the current dogmatism concerning the binary verdict system, that is, we aim to encourage an open discussion about the reasons in favour or against binary verdicts.
