Uniform Evidence

Jeremy Gans, Andrew Palmer


 This book sets out the rules of evidence as they apply in Australian courts in an accessible and student-orientated style. Focused entirely on the uniform evidence legislations, this is an ideal text for all those studying evidence in the federal courts and in the courts of the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales and Victoria, and also very useful for Tasmania.
  • Examples are used throughout to illustrate practical applications of the law.
  • A chapter summary is provided at the end of each chapter.
  • Diagrams summarise complex legal issues and to bring them in line with uniform evidence laws.
