Evidence Q&A 2005-2006

by Christopher Allen

This book has been written to help students who wish to revise particular topics in evidence law, and to show by example how to write good answers to questions in examinations. In particular, the book shows the importance of a practical approach that requires a student to think as carefully about facts as about law.

Christopher Allen was in practice at the Bar for seven years. He retired recently from the Inns of Court School of Law, London, where he was a senior lecturer. He continues to contribute to evidence teaching at University College London, and on London University's External Programme.
