Description
Evidence is the branch of law that regulates how issues may be proved in court. Much of the law of evidence is concerned with the kind of evidence that can be legitimately before the court and taken into account in decision making. From civil cases to criminla cases, and from improperply obtained evidence to character evidence, Evidence Essentials guides you through the law of Evidence in Scotland. Summary sections of essential facts help you to revise what you should have learned, and summaries of Essential Cases show how the law of evidence is applied and how it has evolved in Scotland.
