Abstract:
The fundamental principles -- The trial process -- Character -- Unreliable evidence : corroboration and related rules -- The adversary context -- Party presentation and prosecution -- The testimonial emphasis -- Hearsay.

"This book presents an
organised approach to the Australian law of evidence by explaining the operative rules from the perspective of the various underlying and unifying principles. This new edition provides new insights into many areas of evidence where non-legal knowledge is advancing. These areas of research are important in understanding not simply the probative value of particular items of evidence but also in comprehending the very effectiveness of the adversarial testimonial process as a medium for achieving rectitude."--Publisher description.
