Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to cover each stage of the process, from identifying bad character, getting it past the gateways, and directing the jury on its use, 'A Practical Guide to Bad Character Evidence' is your one-stop reference text when prosecuting and defending criminal trials in England and Wales. It separates the theory from the reality, providing examples and common-sense guidance on the scope and limitations of the use of bad character evidence. Since bad character evidence pervades the trial process, sometimes in unexpected ways, it is vital that practitioners have an understanding of the up-to-date legal position and how it works in practice. Each chapter focuses on a different stage or concept, breaking down the legislative tests and distilling the key cases in a clear and structured way. Chapters contain handy sub-headings to facilitate quick lookup, and the user is guided to other relevant headings and cases that will assist. There is also an index of cases to help with ready navigation.

Download or read book Evidence of Bad Character written by J R Spencer and published by Hart Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-29 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second edition of John Spencer's now well established book which seeks to explain this complex area of law for the benefit of members of judges, criminal practitioners and academics teaching the law of evidence. In the past, the rule excluding evidence of the defendant's general bad character and disposition to commit the offence was sometimes described as one of the most hallowed rules of evidence; Lord Sankey, in Maxwell v DPP, referred to it as '...one of the most deeply rooted and jealously guarded principles of our criminal law.' In reality it was not particularly ancient, and in recent years was increasingly attacked. On technical grounds the body of law surrounding it was criticised as over-complicated and inconsistent, and more radical critics condemned it as unduly favourable to the guilty. In response to this, the law was completely recast in Part II of the Criminal Justice Act 2003. This book, now updated to take into account a raft of new cases, offers a thorough analysis of the bad character provisions of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 in the light of the way in which they have been interpreted by the courts From the reviews of the first edition: 'It is difficult to see how this complex legislation could be presented or explained more clearly...essential for all criminal practitioners.' Nigel Pascoe QC, Counsel '...a concise, highly portable and valuable little book.' Benedict Mills, New Law Journal '...a thorough and remarkably clear analysis of the bad character provisions...You can expect to see this book produced widely in court.' Andrew Keogh, Crimeline Updater '...the commentary is of a high and scholarly standard...It is small and light enough to be slipped into the case of travelling counsel, and is likely to be considered authoritative enough to be cited in court...should be required reading for counsel and the judiciary.' Jon Mack, Internet Law Book Reviews 'An outstanding account of a difficult topic in the law of evidence' Professor Andrew Choo, University of Warwick.

Book excerpt: In recent times the use of expert evidence has hit the headlines when scrutiny over the expert's qualifications and experience has undermined the credibility of their evidence. This has rapidly become an area of law that practitioners cannot afford to get wrong. This book takes the practitioner through all stages of the process from initial identification of the need for expert evidence, through to maximising the benefit of this evidence at trial. It considers the practical steps required for adducing expert evidence at trial (noting the appropriate procedure rules and practice directions), and how this can most appropriately be presented to the tribunal (including references to key authorities as appropriate).
