Details

The sixth edition of this successful textbook provides thorough analysis of the law of evidence, while placing the subject within its theoretical context.

The information is presented in a logical structure following on from the introduction of the basic concepts through to the exclusionary rules of the law of evidence. Written by one of the leading academics in the field, The Law of Evidence:-

  • Offers an integrated approach to evidence which includes essential doctrinal analysis
  • Goes beyond other textbooks to explain the intricacies of the law of evidence while still remaining easy to understand
  • Takes account of evidence theory, psychological research on information processing and retrieval, socio-legal work on police investigations, and jury research projects
  • Contains detailed footnotes, providing key references for further reading
  • Reviews in detail the impact of human rights jurisprudence on the law of evidence
The Law of Evidence is an ideal textbook for undergraduate students and those studying evidence at postgraduate level; and those on vocational courses such as the LPC and BPTC will find it an invaluable source of reference.
