GPA 7 Evidence Final Exam Notes

Description

These are comprehensive, color coded notes for all examinable content. Topic sentences for each of the ‘IRAC’ are pre-written, and can easily be paraphrased to be written into your exam. The rationale for each rule of evidence (which is required to do well in the exam) are also pre-written. The notes provide for every possible scenario that may appear in the exam by providing pre-written reasoning for every ‘option’ ( civil vs criminal case, different types of circumstantial evidence, positive vs negative conclusions for particular issues). All cases (including detailed summaries) and statutory provisions learnt are included. It is a helpful summary of all lectures, seminars and readings set for the course. These set of notes are all you need to do well in the course. The comprehensive nature of the notes ensures all content examinable in the final exam are compiled into 1 document, including every seminar discussion. Topics include: 1. WEEK 1: Relevance 2. WEEK 2: Burden of Proof 3. WEEK 3: Competence and Compellability 4. WEEK 4: Rules of Examination 5. WEEK 5: Privileges and Immunities 6. WEEK 6: Confessions, Admissions & Illegally obtained evidence 7. WEEK 7: Propensity Evidence 8. WEEK 8: Hearsay 9. WEEK 9: Hearsay Exception 10. WEEK 10: Sexual Offence 11. WEEK 11: Identification Evidence 12. Week 12: Expert and Opinion Evidence There is a step-by-step structure for how to answer a problem question (see sample notes). Sample Notes provide a sneak peek of what is covered under each week’s notes. The structure is set out very clearly and I have received feedback that the notes are extremely helpful for exam preparation!
