Synopsis

This book, a pillar in the development of modern legal scholarship, examines the principles of judicial evidence and their origins in both common and civil law. Through the eyes of an experienced legal scholar, this book deconstructs what evidence actually is, and the ethics surrounding its use, reliability, and construction. Valuable insights are provided on the evidentiary rules regarding admissibility and exclusion, including foundational concepts like relevancy, hearsay, privilege, character, and credibility. The author traces the historical evolution of these concepts and analyzes how they have shaped the landscape of judicial proof. Drawing on a wealth of illustrative case law, this book will transform how you understand and apply the rules of evidence. No matter how much or how little experience you have with the subject, this book is an essential reference that will clarify the concepts and principles of evidence law.
