  Like its predecessors, the third edition of Evidence sets out in a readable style the leading rules of the Law of Evidence. This new edition takes full account of the profound changes that have occurred within this fast-evolving area of law since the previous edition. Indeed, much of the book has been completely re-written in order to accommodate both the major reforms affected by the Criminal Justice Act 2003 and the not insignificant developments that have taken place within the relevant case law. The book covers all the major topics of the Law of Evidence. Although essentially designed as an introduction to the subject, it does not shy from subjecting some issues to a more searching and critical treatment, if they happen to present particular interest. Students sometimes find the Law of Evidence an intimidating subject. This lively, and in places entertaining, text, in the words of the song, may offer that spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. In any event, this work provides all the basic information the student is likely to need when studying on LLB, LPC, and Bar Vocational courses.

  This book looks at all the major topics within the Law of Evidence. As well as such basic concerns as relevance and the court's discretion to exclude technically admissible evidence, these topics include the burden of proof and presumptions, the course of the trial, the competence and compellability of witnesses, the opinion rule, the rule against hearsay, the law governing the admissibility of confessions and the rules affecting the so-called right of silence, in addition to the various principles that regulate the admission of character evidence.
