Civil procedure: law of evidence; Criminal procedure: law of evidence

Australian Uniform Evidence Law is an essential textbook for students and emerging practitioners. Providing a practical and clear introduction to this complex subject, the text covers the Evidence Act 1995 (Cth) and its operation across uniform Evidence Act jurisdictions. The textbook highlights the legislative extracts for each uniform evidence jurisdiction and discusses cases that inform the application of these provisions. The third edition includes updated cases and changes to the law, guiding students through the application of the Act and providing opportunities to apply new knowledge of evidence law in its ever-changing context. Chapters are written in an accessible style, featuring a summary of key points, a list of key terms and definitions, and further readings. Practice questions with guided solutions ensure students effectively apply their learnt knowledge to real-world examples. The final chapter, 'Putting it all together', comprises complex practice problems that test students' understanding of the concepts and rules covered.
