International Commentary on Evidence is a peer-reviewed journal on evidence law and theory. Its purpose is to promote scholarly communication about the law of evidence without regard to political or academic boundaries. Each article addresses evidentiary issues of interest in more than one jurisdiction, and, frequently, in disciplines such as economics, psychology, philosophy and history. ICE's electronic format provides a forum for exchange of views in a manner that is relatively new for an academic journal. Electronic publication permits ICE to publish peer-reviewed articles on current topics within weeks of submission. Readers who wish to publish responses to articles on ICE can do so equally quickly, with an opportunity for rejoinders from authors. ICE thus aims to serve as a resource for those interested in the latest academic commentary on specific evidentiary issues and a platform for those who wish to engage in an exchange of views on these issues.
