Choo's Evidence provides students with a lucid account of the core principles of the law of civil and criminal evidence in England and Wales, thus equipping them with a sound understanding of why the law has developed in the way that it has. This clear and engaging text explores current debates and draws on different jurisdictions to achieve a fascinating mix of critical and thought-provoking analysis for students and practitioners of the law of evidence. Thorough consideration is given to all areas of contemporary concern, particularly the ongoing implications of the Human Rights At 1998 and the Criminal Justice Act 2003.
