Professor Paul Atkinson, an evidence teacher for over 30 years, explains in easy-to-understand language, the rules and principles of evidence in Canada, and how legal statutes and case precedents determine our evidence laws.

This fourth edition contains the most recent provincial Court of Appeal and Supreme Court of Canada cases on rulings relating to evidence.

  • Analyses and discusses seminal court cases in regards to evidentiary rulings
  • Provides a succinct overview of the Canadian justice system
