The rules of evidence which apply in the Irish courts have evolved over generations, and continue to evolve.

This module aims to acquaint students with the rules of evidence, their origins and the context of their development, and to equip students with sufficient substantive knowledge and contextual information to allow them to critique the ongoing need for these rules, and the potential for the recognition of further rules of evidence.
