Customer Reviews

An excellent companion to those studying the subject.
This is a very good reference book although you do need some understanding of the Law of Evidence and the manner in which law books are written. The cases are excellent and up to date with enough detail to grasp the meaning. In summary this is a good reference book for those in the know.
