Description
Contested cases are only as strong as the evidence on which they are based. A thorough working knowledge of the law of evidence is essential for any barrister, whether in the preparation of a case or in the conduct of litigation in court. This manual examines not only the principles of evidence, but also their application in practice. By its combination of text, materials, realistic examples, and problems, the manual aims to develop in students of the subject not only a knowledge of the law of evidence, but also an understanding of the ways in which it is applied in practice.

Description
As a case is only as strong as the evidence upon which it is based, a thorough working knowledge of the law of evidence is essential for any barrister, whether in the preparation of the case or in the conduct of litigation in court. This knowledge is indispensable to the criminal and civil practitioner alike, so this manual approaches the law of evidence from both the civil and criminal perspectives to prepare students for practice in either field. "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. A student's understanding of the practical application of the law of evidence is reinforced by realistic examples and problems. The manual also includes a number of case studies, questions, diagrams and charts which will help students to achieve a deeper knowledge of the rules and principles of evidence. This manual covers all major recent developments in both civil and criminal evidence, including the major changes brought about by the Criminal Justice Act 2003 and the subsequent case law.
The authors are experienced practitioners and teachers of this topic at post-graduate level.
