The new edition of this well respected text focuses on how the key features of the adversarial system influence the way that evidence is gathered, assessed and used in the civil and criminal courts.

The author takes account of the growing body of law from the European Court of Human Rights, considers the particular impact this has had on our adversarial system of justice, and anticipates areas of future development and law reform.
