Evidence: A Canadian Casebook, 5th Edition

Hamish Stewart, Benjamin L. Berger, Emma Cunliffe, Ronalda Murphy, Steven Penney
Available

Evidence: A Canadian Casebook, 5th Edition introduces law students to the rules and principles governing the establishment of facts in legal proceedings. Through clear language and extensive extracts from leading cases, students will develop their ability to read primary legal materials with greater comprehension.

This casebook sets itself apart from other resources by weaving a case study throughout the entire text. Students can apply their readings and understanding of the law using the end-of-chapter “problem sets”—a series of detailed evidentiary issues from the hypothetical case.

This edition reflects updated legislation, recent cases, and expanded discussion.
