Evidence: what actually proves the point?
Separate allegation, inference and admissible or useful evidence.
Learn
A persuasive case is organised around propositions that must be proved. For each proposition, identify the source: document, witness, photograph, recording, metadata, expert evidence, admission or other material. Evidence legislation and admissibility rules differ between Australian jurisdictions and can be technical and fact-dependent, so Legal Lee should load the current evidence rules for the learner’s matter.
