    The burden of proof: How to defend yourself in criminal cases
    (Research and Publications Department, 2000) Massawe, Aloys. A. F.
    The book covers three interrelated areas of law which a person would require to grasp when entering an appearance before the court of law. The areas at hand are criminal law principles, evidence and legal skills. First, the book addresses areas of criminal law upon which liability in criminal matters is fundamentally determined. In this vein, defences (general and specific) are also covered. Second, hand in hand with criminal law principles are rules of evidence, which have been given a concise but thorough treatment. Finally, the author provides techniques for handling prosecution matters. He illustrates methods or trial tactics (chapter 14) which may be adapted to any kind of case, and this aspect amplifies the importance of this book to learners of law. The skills are explained by analysis and illustrated by examples. The reader will find that in this way rules of self-defence become clear and that way potentially serious mistakes can be avoided.
