内容説明
The Law of Evidence is a major new work examining the central principles of evidence. Written by a leading academic (editor of the Criminal Law Review) its approach is theoretical and analytical, making it an ideal text for the undergraduate. The reader is introduced to evidence theory and the exposition and analysis of the law is placed within a wider context, with systematic references made to secondary literature. The work is divided into four main parts: Understanding Evidence - deals with the theoretical and conceptual foundations of the law of evidence. Obtaining Evidence - deals with evidential issues arising out of pre-trial events. Adducing Evidence - covers the rules of proof at contested trials. Using Evidence - concerns the exclusionary rules of the law of evidence. Evidence is a fast-moving subject, and this work will bring the student fully up-to-date with the many significant recent developments in the area. Full consideration is given to the many implications for the law of evidence of the Human Rights Act 1988.
Other developments such as the new Civil Procedure Rules, the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996, and the rapidly growing case law on such topics as the right to silence and documentary hearsay have been taken into account of in the appropriate chapters.
