Reviews for Walker and Walker: The Law of Evidence in Scotland

"...the quality of the material, the breadth, depth and context within which the authors place their narrative and examination of the subject, this book remains to be the ""go to"" source on any aspect and consideration of evidence. For any practitioner serious about representing themselves and their client before the court, this book should always be readily to hand. -- David J Dickson * The Journal of the Law Society of Scotland *"
