The Evidence Law Practice Area on Westlaw offers subscribers extensive commentary on the law of evidence. Uniform Evidence Law in particular is the only service dedicated to the uniform evidence legislation, especially as the implementation of the uniform evidence law in the various jurisdictions has dramatically changed the way in which evidence law itself is structured. Expert Evidence is a highly regarded practitioner work that analyses the common law and statutory criteria in relation to the admissibility of expert evidence and is designed to provide advocacy guidance for the commissioning and management of expert witnesses. The latest caselaw, tools, annotations and support that will be made available to subscribers are essential for the preparation and presentation of cases as well as the understanding of issues of procedure critical to the resolution of disputes. The Evidence Law Noticeboard is specifically geared for specialists in the area and will deliver news items of interest and significance written and curated by in-house editors.
