Modern Criminal Evidence, 2nd Edition provides a practical and comprehensive guide to criminal evidence law in Canada. Unlike other texts in this area, its practice-focused approach leads readers through evidentiary issues across all components of criminal law, offering insight from Crown, defence, and judicial perspectives.

National in scope, this modern interpretation of criminal evidence law examines a wide range of topics, including judicial fact-finding, pre-trial considerations, expert evidence, circumstantial evidence, hearsay, character evidence, digital evidence, examination of witnesses, and the intersection of proceedings. This edition includes a significant update to the digital evidence chapter addressing deepfakes and AI-modified content, and expands its witnesses coverage into three separate, in-depth chapters.
