Walker and Walker: The Law of Evidence in Scotland is a comprehensive and detailed examination of the law of evidence in the broadest of civil and criminal contexts. The emphasis is upon rigorous examination of the issues affecting all who work with the law of evidence whether in court, chamber practice or legal education.

The Sixth Edition has been updated to reflect recent case law and the latest developments in practice including:
- Ongoing significant developments in the law of corroboration by distress and res gestae and de recenti statements, notably in Lord Advocate's References Nos 1, 2 and 3 of 2023
- Ongoing significant developments in the Moorov doctrine, including the decision in Duthie v HM Advocate 2021 JC 207
- Legal professional privilege and purported statutory overrides, as in Scottish Legal Complaints Commission v Murray 2023 SC 10.

This title remains the leading authority on the law of evidence in Scotland and is an essential companion for criminal lawyers, advocates, judges and students.

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Scottish Law, Scots Law Student online services, and the Criminal Law module of Scots Law Online.
