This book provides law students and beginners in advocacy with a guide to evidence that emphasises the importance of reasoning with principles, rules and facts, and is of manageable size and scope. The topics covered are those that are likely to give rise to problems, either in examinations or when conducting cases in court. Special attention has been paid to the practical business of developing arguments about admissibility and the exercise of judicial discretion in the context of criminal cases. The book also takes into account the growing requirement that advocates assist the judge by making submissions on contentious matters to be covered in a summing up. The object throughout has been to explain evidence law in a way that will make for sound understanding and the creative use of argument, whether in court or in an examination.
