Proof: The Law's Most Essential Element, Jurist-in-Residence Program Inaugural Lecture

Judge Victor Bolden’s lecture explores proof as the rule of law’s most essential element. In this seemingly apocalyptic age, when the rule of law appears under siege, the way forward should involve reaffirming our belief in the rule of law, through reaffirming the importance of proof to the rule of law’s continued success. Indeed, proof is the rule of law’s most essential element, a significance codified in legal rules, exemplified by legal theory, and reflected in the main source of belief in the rule of law: its effectiveness.
