5194LAW Evidence - Full Summary Notes (Ready for Exam)

Description

These notes can be both taken into the final exam and they can also be used for facilitating individual studies throughout the trimester/semester (they cover all the assessable topics). Although they are primarily for Griffith University students, these specialised notes can still be used by students from other universities in Queensland. They are designed for ease of use, and set out in step by step question and answer style. I wrote them this way for ease of use in an exam situation, where you can just step through the notes, following the steps, in order to get an answer. They are very detailed and include references to all appropriate case authorities. I successfully used these notes to get a 7 in this course and am confident you can do the same. They cover all examinable topics in the course, including: - Jurisdiction - Relevance - Burden and standard of proof - Types of evidence/Classifying evidence - Exclusionary rules and exceptions to them - Discretion to exclude evidence - Procedural considerations
