ABSTRACT

This book is intended to help students studying evidence law who may feel that they have acquired some knowledge, but do not feel confident about handling it correctly in the examination. The book shows how to apply that knowledge in answering problems and writing answers to essay questions. I have emphasised problem questions in this book in order to give students as much practice as possible in reasoning with facts as well as with law. The practising lawyer is concerned most of the time with facts rather than law. Even in law examinations, analysis of a factual situation is essential to the application of the law, and it is often at this stage that students go astray.
