内容説明

Murphy on Evidence is firmly established as a leading student text, framing the law of evidence in its practical context, and is suitable for both undergraduates as well as those studying for professional law exams. Written in an engaging style, it explains the law clearly and provides helpful critical commentary on the key issues. Frequently consulted by judges and practitioners, and regularly cited in judgments, Murphy on Evidence has come to be regarded as a work of authority throughout the common law world. The book's unique approach effectively bridges the gap between the academic study of the law of evidence and its application in practice, combining detailed analysis of the law with a wealth of practical information about how it is used in the courtroom. As in previous editions, the text is accompanied by two well-crafted fictional cases - one criminal and one civil - allowing students an opportunity to contextualize and test their growing knowledge. These are 'brought to life' by accompanying video and audio resources. Each chapter presents challenging issues and questions for discussion which can be applied to a suite of supporting case documentation, which reflect how the law of evidence applies in practice. Online Resource Centre The book is accompanied by an Online Resource Centre, which contains: * Supporting documents and multimedia resources for the two fictional cases, including Prosecution and defence case papers Police interviews (incl. transcripts, audio, and video) Witness statements Criminal procedure forms Civil claim forms * A range of multiple-choice questions enabling students to test their knowledge * A list of useful web links
