Description

Fraser Davidson#s new title on Evidence fills an important gap in the SULI series. This modern and comprehensive treatment of the Law of Evidence pays full regard to the Human Rights dimension of the subject. The author seeks to address the conceptual basis of key doctrines, where appropriate locating them in their historical and comparative context. This will be an invaluable reference tool for both practitioners and academics.
