Infos

Murphy on Evidence is now firmly established as a leading text for use on law degrees and vocational courses. Frequently consulted by judges and practitioners, it has come to be regarded as a work of authority throughout the common law world. It bridges the gap between the academic and practical treatment of the law of evidence containing both a comprehensive academic analysis of the law and a wealth of practical information about how the law is applied in the courtroom. The tenth edition will be fully revised to deal with the many significant changes that have taken place since the publication of the last edition.
