The Law of Evidence, by David M Paciocco, Palma Paciocco, and Lee Stuesser, is Canada's leading text in evidentiary law in both criminal and civil cases. For more than two decades, it has been relied upon by judges, practitioners, and scholars in the courtroom and in the classroom. The strength of the book is that it does not simply organize and describe the most important topics in the law of evidence; it is designed to simultaneously teach the law of evidence and provide a concise reference source of the leading authorities. In this newest edition of this frequently cited book, the authors continue the practice of organizing, explaining, and illustrating the law of evidence clearly, simply, and practically. The Law of Evidence, 8e, provides authoritative analyses of new cases, and portions of the book have been rewritten or reorganized to enhance discussion of the most important topics in evidentiary law.

The book unravels the mysteries of the criminal justice system, explaining how and why we sentence offenders; the reasons behind the system's technicalities, which can benefit the guilty; and why the system is miserly on victims' rights. It points out where we err, particularly with the parole system. Each chapter starts with a murder docudrama.
