Features: Evidence is the core and foundation of the three major litigation systems—criminal, civil, and administrative—and is also one of the cornerstones for achieving judicial fairness and even socialist rule of law. Therefore, the current judicial training and legal education in our country have made "Evidence Law" a compulsory course. To meet the learning and training needs of public security, procuratorial, and judicial organs, as well as lawyers, and to adapt to the deepening of teaching content reform in higher education legal programs, we have compiled this "Evidence Law." This book adheres to the principles of scientificity and correctness, striving to be concise, brief, and practical, making efforts to combine theory with practice, and hoping to assist police, judicial officers, and teaching staff at all levels of legal education. Since its first publication in 2001, "Evidence Law" has been widely welcomed by readers and has been reprinted twice within two years. In the past three years, the country has been actively engaged in evidence legislation, and the Supreme People's Court has successively issued interpretations on the evidence rules for civil and administrative litigation. In terms of judicial practice, the application of evidence has given rise to many new situations and issues as democracy, the rule of law, and the market economy continue to develop. Based on these changing circumstances, "Evidence Law" has been revised.
