Abstract:
"The authority of the criminal judge to assess anecdotal evidence in
Islamic jurisprudence and Algerian law", a study in which I tackled
the authority entrusted to the judge to assess both testimony and
confession according to what was listed by Islamic jurisprudents and
what the Algerian legislator went to in the Code of Criminal Procedure.
I first defined the estimative authority, its legality, and its most
important principle which is the personal conviction of the criminal
judge, then i mentioned linguistic definition and jurist's of the four
schools definitions besides explainer's of positive law definitions of
testimony and confession.
I tackled the conditions of testimony and confession in law and Shariaa
in details.
Finally, i shed light on the judge's assessment of these anecdotal
evidences comparing how compatible and contrasting are these
legislations in deciding such issues.
