Murphy on Evidence

'For many students, Murphy on Evidence is an ideal text: it is well written, accessible, and includes a number of useful summaries.'
Student Law Journal

Murphy on Evidence is firmly established as a leading text for use on undergraduate law courses and in preparation for professional exams. Frequently consulted by judges and practitioners and regularly cited in judgments, it has come to be regarded as a work of authority throughout the common law world.

The book's unique approach effectively bridges the gap between academic study of the law of evidence and its application in practice, combining detailed analysis of the law with a wealth of practical information about how it is used in the Courtroom.

Key features of the book include:
- Questions at the end of each chapter relating to realistic, though fictitious, civil and criminal cases (for which supporting documents and videos can be found on the Online Resource Centre).
- Introductory summaries throughout the book highlighting the key points and issues that are crucial to each aspect of the subject.
- Lists of further reading and questions for discussion at the end of each chapter, providing guidance on further study and encouraging reflection and debate.

Fully up to date with the latest developments in this fast-moving subject, the thirteenth edition of Murphy on Evidence is as indispensable as its predecessors.
