If your practice involves representing clients in civil or criminal litigation proceedings in Canada, Sopinka, Lederman & Bryant – The Law of Evidence, 6th Edition must figure prominently on your bookshelf. This new edition of the seminal work offers current and in-depth coverage of the Canadian law of evidence, and has been updated to include significant recent developments.

  • Identify when witnesses will be competent and compellable to testify
  • Conduct examinations and cross-examinations within the appropriate scope
  • Gauge whether the burden and standard of proof have been met
  • Recognize the existence and extent of privilege
  • Understand the Supreme Court of Canada's continuing development and extension of the "Principled Approach" into virtually every facet of the law of evidence
  • Gain insight into the admissibility of evidence in many different areas, including character evidence, hearsay evidence, similar fact evidence, opinion evidence and documentary evidence

In addition to substantive guidance, Sopinka, Lederman & Bryant – The Law of Evidence, 6th Edition is organized to maximize ease-of-use, with a detailed table of contents and numbered paragraphs for quick access and precise cross-referencing.
