Top of Year Evidence Law Notes

Description

Well organized, easy to understand, authority rich notes from a student who received the Academic Excellence award for Evidence (top of class) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions Prize in Evidence (top of year). I have now graduated with a Bachelor of Laws with Distinction and the University Medal - so what I'm saying is, trust me. Following the table of contents you will be able to find everything you need for the exam in both Common Law and under the Uniform Evidence Act. These notes cover: - Assumed knowledge from previous law topics - Burden of Proof and Onus of Proof - Jones v Dunkel - Relevance - Roles and duties - Competence and compellability - Presumptions - Privileges - Immunities - Real and Documentary evidence - Examination in chief - Jury warnings - Identification evidence - Corroboration - Opinion evidence - Cross examination and accused as witness - Propensity evidence - similar fact / discreditable conduct - Hearsay - Confessions and admissions - Re-examination, close of case, no case to answer I have also created an overarching flow chart that can be used to structure your answers to all questions, as well as smaller flow charts to take you through the rules for each type of evidence. I have used far more authorities than referenced in the lectures, taken from readings and my own research, your answers are sure to impress.
