In a
criminal trial, the prosecution must meet a burden of proof. The standard represented by the title
phrase of this book is not defined in U.S. laws. What does it really mean? Here, more than 80
scholars, attorneys, novelists, journalists and religious figures discuss, explore, interpret and
define the phrase and its meaning.
Among the contributors are Ed Haug, a 1974 graduate of Notre Dame, Richard North
Patterson, Scott Turow, Dr. Carol Lieberman and Jerry Falwell.
