Details

The Core Text series takes the reader straight to the heart of the subject, providing a reliable and invaluable guide for students of law at all levels.

"Roderick Munday's book attempts to demystify the rules of evidence. In my view, the attempt is a commendable success. I wish I had this book when I was studying evidence! - New Law Journal
