Product description
Focused on practical problem-solving, Essential Evidence is a must-have title for students, CA's and pupil advocates and a useful reference for both new as well as experienced legal practitioners.
The book is comprehensive although shorter, easier to understand and navigate than the deep research SA Law of Evidence product. The book is designed so that a practitioner may use it in conjunction with SA Law of Evidence or it may be used on its own.
The law of evidence is vital and forms part of the curriculum of every South African law qualification. It also forms part of the curriculum of other professions eg. police force. Law of evidence is not considered an easy subject, especially not for persons who have never been inside a court of law and this condensed version of the detailed SA Law of Evidence is ideal for students and, CA's and pupil advocates for practitioners requiring a quick reference.
