APPENDIX: A Sample Analysis.

In the preparation of any matter for trial there are two questions which must always be answered: 'What must I prove in order to succeed?' and 'How am I going to prove that?'. The third edition of Proof includes clear, simple and easy-to-follow methods for organising and analysing evidence and includes an increased focus on the preparation of the defence case. A detailed Appendix provides a step by step analysis of a case and shows the practical application of charting evidence in order to construct the strongest possible case for presentation at trial. Built on solid theoretical foundations, but with a very practical orientation, Proof guides your approach to the evidence from the moment you become involved in a matter to the delivery of the closing address. Proof is essential reading for anyone involved in litigation. - Publisher's website.
