Evidence 2008-2009 (2008/2009 [ed.])

As the outcome of a case can be determined by the evidence upon which it is based, barristers must not only have an impressive knowledge of the law of evidence but also the ability to apply the principles of the law of evidence to particular cases under pressure.

Evidence examines not only the principles of evidence, but also their application in practice, equipping students with the ability to make the best use of the theory they have learnt.

The reader's understanding of the practical application of the law of evidence is reinforced by realistic examples and problems, and a number of case studies, questions, diagrams and charts are also featured throughout designed to help the reader to achieve a full understanding of the laws governing the use of evidence in both civil and criminal proceedings.

Evidence is essential reading for all trainee barristers, and is also a useful source of reference for junior practitioners wishing to refresh their knowledge of the rules of evidence applicable in both civil and criminal cases.
