There have been changes to practically every aspect of the law of evidence in all proceedings since the 6th Edition of Evidence and the Litigation Process was published.

This episode includes the following topics:

• Significant legislative revisions impacting civil and criminal processes, including the Evidence (Amendment) Act 2018 and Criminal Justice Reform Act 2018, the Criminal Procedure Code (Amendment) Act 2019, and associated statutory sources and regulations.
• Case law developments relating to expert evidence, burdens of proof, standards of proof, hearsay, character and similar fact evidence, witness examination, modes of presenting evidence, evidence by video link, presentation of exhibits, the court's discretion to exclude evidence, ancillary hearings to determine the admissibility of statements, voluntariness and reliability, presumptions of law, legal advice privilege, litigation privilege, privilege as between entities a and b, presumptions of law, legal advice privilege, litigation privilege.

This book strikes a balance between analytic examination of the concepts and practical application of the law, and it accomplishes this goal by including many examples and practice-related scenarios. It provides students with a comprehensive and integrated picture of the litigation process (both procedure and advocacy), making it an invaluable resource for their study. The problems inherent in the Evidence Act (a major portion of which remains in the state it was adopted in 1893) and the friction between this legislation and the continually evolving common law are acknowledged in this work. In addressing these issues and studying all relevant legal sources, no effort is spared. Thousands of copies of this incredibly popular product have been sold in the first six editions.
