Description
Evidence and the Adversarial Process d, an important new text, reflects the latest views and research on evidence and the adversarial process, and identifies new directions and procedures which are bringing the English trial closer to the continental model. The book both reviews the modern law and challenges traditional assumptions; the theory of the trial is measured against the reality.
