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.

Written by leading academics and renowned for their clarity, these concise texts explain the intellectual challenges of each area of the law. Munday's Evidence provides students with a succinct yet thought-provoking introduction to all of the key areas covered on undergraduate law of evidence courses.

Vibrant and engaging, the book sets out to demystify a traditionally intimidating area of law. Probing analysis of the issues, both historic and current, ensures that the text contains a thorough exploration of the 'core' of the subject.

Whether used as a primer, core text, or as a reintroduction to the subject, Evidence is the ideal companion for those keen to grasp the core principles and current law of evidence.

Review(s) from previous edition

"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
