The student will become familiar with topics such as: relativity, classification and types of testimony, amendment of Chapter 9 and hearsay witness, the burden and level of proof, the evidence, the judicial notice, the formal admissions, the procedure of witness examination, the unlawfully obtained testimony, the confession, “the trial in trial” and the judicial rules, the estoppel, the competent and coerced witnesses and the concept of privilege.
