- Description: Humanity has since time immemorial tried to arrange and structure its societies and communities. It follows that most, if not all societies’ function within a body of rules. Governments put laws in place to ensure that order is maintained and they are developed over time and implemented as the needs of a particular society evolve. Law may be divided into substantive law and procedural law. The law of evidence forms an integral part of procedural law and consists of a compilation of legal rules that have been used by courts and other forums in order to ensure that consistent and fair processes are followed and standards maintained in courts when facts are to be determined.2 It sets out the framework for how the evidence of witnesses must be dealt with and also sets out how it should be interpreted. Furthermore, it prescribes the assessment and evaluation of evidentiary material. It is imperative that rules of evidence be in place in order to protect the integrity of the proceedings and to prevent unfairness. The law of evidence thus forms an integral part of the law of procedure. Although South African common law is Roman-Dutch Law, the South African law of evidence has originally been incorporated into South African law from English law and has been developed over the years through legislation and court judgments.3 The law of evidence is applicable to both civil and criminal proceedings. In fact, rules of evidence come into play in virtually all courts, tribunals and forums where the objective is to resolve some or other legal dispute. This treatise focuses on aspects relating to the rules of evidence, with specific reference to hearsay evidence, unconstitutionally obtained evidence, polygraph testing by employers, searches and seizures in the workplace and entrapment in the workplace.

- Description: Application of the design research approach to devise, develop and optimise an experiential learning programme and adaptation of the Volunteer Functions Inventory (VFI) to understand community pharmacists’ motives, are unique contributions to the global pharmacy education setting. This study generated new theory, in the form of substantive and procedural claims (design principles) regarding experiential learning programmes and preceptor and student motivation in a South African pharmacy educational context, which can be added to the existing international landscape and more importantly, plant the foundational seeds of insight that can be utilised as guiding tools by other South African pharmacy faculties.
