How to deal with exhibits in civil and criminal proceedings (CPD 1.5 hrs)

The topic of this webinar is the effective use of exhibits in both criminal and civil proceedings. It is presented by the Hon. Justice Simon Moore, Marc Corlett QC, and Damian Chesterman (Chair).

The topics to be discussed include:

• Background to exhibits
• Traditional means of introducing exhibits into evidence;
• Use of Common Bundle in civil and criminal proceedings;
• How to use exhibits to best effect; and
• Tips and tricks and lessons to be learnt.

Given the core rules of evidence and technical aspects of producing exhibits (in the traditional way) are largely the same in both types of proceedings, and the growing similarity between the way large/complex criminal and civil cases are now run, this seminar is to cover both types of proceedings.
