Details

Queensland Evidence Law is an accessible text on the compulsory subject of evidence, addressing the specific aspects of evidence law for the state of Queensland. It is a valuable tool that assists in the understanding of the subject as students are able to focus on one jurisdiction. This text approaches the law of evidence systematically, with the concepts presented in a logical order. Each chapter concludes with a running ?self-testing? module, referring the reader to two appendices in which topics from that chapter are inserted into an unfolding trial scenario, one criminal and the other civil.
