Reviews

The emphasis of this book is to take a practical and tactical approach to the evidence all practitioners and students will encounter on a daily basis in their everyday professional lives. The book provides a clear and easily understood analysis of evidence, without a solid comprehensive knowledge of what evidence actually comprises of, and how it can be used to the benefit of a case, lawyers in all areas of the law will be at a disadvantage both in terms of the case and their clients. This book provides a guide to the knowledge and skills a lawyer requires in conducting a case so as to bridge the academic and practical skills divide. Dr Singh is a highly respected member of Chambers who has over the years combined his academic work with a busy practice and is therefore ideally placed to write this book which provides an invaluable aid to many. -Stuart Stevens, Head of Holborn Chambers, Barrister-at-Law
