Research Canons: Evidence
Our next subject matter for the research canons project is Evidence. (See here for a discussion of the research canons project, including categories, dates, and links to prior installments.) Please comment on the books and articles that are essential to a new academic in the field. In addition to listing your suggestions, you want to say a little about why the book or article is so important for new scholars.

Again, as this is not my field of expertise, and by way of prompting others to contribute titles, I'll simply list some items in the hope that others will assess their canon worthiness:

While probably a bit tangential to the items that will eventually make this list, I'd like to mention Douglas N. Walton's Legal Argumentation and Evidence (University Park, PA: Pennsylvania State University Press, 2002). As it says on the back cover, Walton 'brings a dialectical theory of argumentation as well as a theory of plausible reasoning to bear on the traditional problems of legal evidence.' So, while not yet canonical, I'm hoping with increased exposure....
