EVIDENCE 70109 - Exam answer scaffolds & complete comprehensive notes

Description

These notes for Evidence 70109 are the notes I prepared for and used in the final exam. They include 2 sections: Section 1 – Complete course notes Section 2 – Exam cheat sheet / scaffolds I made the complete course notes myself based on various resources including lectures, class discussions and case readings. They emphasise the most important principles in a comprehensive yet clear manner. The scaffolds are extraordinarily helpful (and all you will need) in the final exam and to apply to various problem questions. The sample showcases a part of the cheat sheet, as well as part of the lecture notes - so you can see how they are structured. These notes cover all topics examined in the course including: • Introduction to evidence • Proof and presumptions • Structure of Evidence Act admissibility • Types of evidence • Witnesses • Examination of witnesses • Failure to call witnesses • Right to silence • Relevance • Hearsay evidence • First-hand hearsay / more remote exceptions • Credibility evidence • Admissions • Hearsay for a non-hearsay purpose • Character evidence • Opinion evidence • Tendency and coincidence evidence • Discretionary / mandatory exclusion of evidence • Judicial warnings, comments and directions • Privilege
