This book contains for revision or introductory or consolidation reading for the centrally assessed Civil Litigation & Evidence assessments for the Bar Training Courses from 2025: Barristers Training Course, Bar Knowledge Course, Bar Practice Course, Bar Training Course, Bar Vocational Studies, PgDip Bar Practice. It is updated up to and including the October 2024 CPR amendments. It contains explanations of the whole curriculum and syllabus for the assessments in Civil Litigation and Evidence, no more and no less. It follows the Civil Litigation process from pre-action through to trial and beyond, in a chronological structure, and sets exactly into context every assessable CPR, PD and Commentary in the White Book and the assessable paragraphs in The Jackson ADR Handbook (Third Edition, 2021). The beginning of every chapter sets out clearly which elements of the syllabus appear in this chapter with signposting to where the book deals with related areas of the syllabus which do not appear in that chapter. There are also concise summaries of the chapter at the beginning of each chapter to provide an overview of what is covered in it. At the end of each chapter is a road map giving a visual display of how much of the course you have so far covered and how much you still have left to do. You can therefore be fully confident that you have covered the whole of the syllabus without needing to sift out any areas of civil litigation and evidence that are not assessable. Praise for previous editions. The holy grail of wrapping your head around civil litigation I have always found the course daunting and convoluted. However, this book made it much simpler for me. A brilliant book to get through the exams! Couldn't have done it without you Gillian! Even though we never met, I felt like you taught me the whole of civil litigation from start to finish. I have bought all the books - and this one saved the day. Clear, accessible, with lots of handy tips. Phenomenal revision guide. Without exaggeration this book on its own helped me secure an outstanding in the Civil Litigation paper. Everything you write is clear, the diagrams are great and I like the structure of it as everything sticks in your memory. The Best in the Business. I have bought all the books - and this one saved the day. I advise buying this book at the start of your Bar course and reading it as you go along because Civil Lit is something you learn slowly and you need to build on it
