  • One of my professors hosts this show and it’s awesome and I’m totally not biased

    If you’re curious as to what type of evidence is used in a trial and why, or why certain pieces of evidence is excluded, then this is the podcast for you. My evidence professor, Alex Nunn is one of the hosts for this show and he’s an amazing human being. He may sound dry in the show, but he’s very funny in person. Please support this podcast because it gives the type of information and scholarship that is greatly needed in today’s society.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

177 Kay Levine
Q: Why do civil courts seem more receptive to survey evidence than criminal courts, according to your research?
Civil courts treat survey evidence as adjudicative facts in dispute-specific settings and tend to gatekeep less, while criminal contexts involve broader, morally charged questions where judges rely more on intuition; this leads to heavier gatekeeping and skepticism in criminal cases.
177 Kay Levine
Q: Could you explain what you mean by opinion survey evidence and where we typically see it in the legal system?
Opinion survey evidence is a tool used to gauge community attitudes on issues like consumer confusion, damages, decency standards, and privacy expectations; surveys can inform whether the public believes a standard should apply, and they can influence both liability and damages questions in civil law and certain pretrial or constitutional issues in criminal law.
175 Rebecca Wexler
Q: How should the doctrine be reformed to better balance secrecy with the defendant's rights and judicial oversight?
The proposal is to tie threshold eligibility to how law enforcement itself handled the confidentiality of the information before disputes arose, and to allow protective orders that enable disclosure under strict safeguards, thereby preserving the tool's efficacy while improving transparency and accountability.
175 Rebecca Wexler
Q: What is the prosecutorial justification for maintaining the privilege, and are there compelling circumstances where secrecy serves a public interest?
There are scenarios where keeping certain methods secret—like malware exploits or ongoing investigative techniques—can prevent leaks that would degrade investigative tools or endanger public safety. The guest argues for a nuanced approach that preserves secrecy in limited, well-justified cases while ensuring transparency and accountability where possible.
175 Rebecca Wexler
Q: So what exactly is the law enforcement privilege, and why does it need to be on our radar?
The privilege allows police to keep investigative methods secret while letting the results be used in court. It is a two-step process with a threshold claim followed by balancing, but current practice often skips the threshold, enabling broad secrecy that undermines defendants' ability to challenge evidence and the court's oversight.
