Evidence (Butterworths Core Texts) - Softcover

"Evidence" examines the main areas of importance in the law of evidence. It looks at such issues as the burden of proof and presumptions, the course of the trial and the growing significance of the law emanating from the European Court of Human Rights and the Human Rights Act. Other chapters discuss the variety of evidentiary issues that can arise when gathering evidence and the rules governing the competence and compellability of witnesses. Together with some thoughts on the future of adversarial proceedings, this title provides all the information the student is likely to need when studying on LLB, LPC and Bar vocational courses.
