One of the fundamental functions fulfilled by law in the course of legal proceedings is that of ascertaining a certain truth, although it may not be the truth, sole and absolute. In so doing, law caters for a widespread social need for truth. The dossier contains an edited version of the presentations made at the conference entitled Justice and Truth: A reconnaissance of the function of truth, held in Milan on 27 February 2012, which sheds light from a variety of perspectives on the relationship between law, legal proceedings and truth.
