Dear Law Student/Bar Aspirant,
A day will come when you find studying law either boring or overwhelming. That day, you will question if all the cramming, sleepless nights, illnesses, etc. is worth it.
A thought to give up might come up, but please resist that thought will all you have.
Becoming a lawyer is not for everyone, and the fact that you're on your way to becoming one of us isn't a coincidence.
Don't give up. It gets better and sweeter with time and age.

WHAT IS PURPOSE?
Purpose is that one thing for which you were created and at which you must succeed otherwise nothing else you succeed at will count.
- Emmanuel Iren, 2013
At the Bar Finals, one topic you cannot escape under Evidence in Civil or criminal litigation is laying foundation for the admissibility of secondary evidence Section 89 EA 2011
Under the Evidence Act, documentary evidence may be proved by either:
- Primary Evidence; or
- Secondary Evidence.
The general rule is that where you intend to tender secondary evidence, such as a photocopy, scanned copy, or duplicate of a document, you must first lay proper foundation before the court can admit it.
Except the document itself is a notice eg Notice to Quit or Notice of owners intention to recover property..
Foundation simply means explaining to the court why the original document is unavailable and why the secondary copy should be admitted instead.
You do not simply tender the document immediately. You must first lead your witness through questions that establish the conditions required by law.
For example, where the original document is lost, the proper procedure is:
1. What is your name , address and occupation?
2. In your witness statement on oath, did you make reference to a particular document?
3. Where is the document?
4. Where is the original document?
The witness may answer:
«“The original has been lost.”»
You must then proceed to establish the efforts made to locate it by asking:
5. What steps did you take to find the original?
The witness may explain the efforts made and state that despite diligent search, the original could not be found.
Next, you ask:
6. If you see the document, how will you be able to identify it?
The witness must explain how the document can be identified, for example through signature, letterhead, stamp, contents, or other distinguishing features.
Remember, no leading questions during examination-in-chief.
seek permission from the court to show the document to the witness.
8. My Lord, with your permission, I seek to show the witness the document.
Once the witness identifies it, you may then tender the secondary copy in evidence.
9. My Lord, we seek to tender the document in evidence as Exhibit D1.
At that point, the court will decide whether sufficient foundation has been laid and whether the document should be admitted.
The key point is this:
Failure to lay proper foundation before tendering secondary evidence can lead to the document being rejected by the court.
That is why foundation is extremely important both in Civil and Criminal Litigation, especially at the Bar Finals.
