One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Scope and functions of the law of evidence

The scope of the law of evidence determines what evidence can be used in court and under what circumstances, while its functions include ensuring fairness, preventing prejudice, and guiding judges and parties in admissibility decisions. Mastering these concepts is essential for examiners to assess whether evidence is admissible, relevant, and reliable, which directly influences trial outcomes.
