Evidence

Designed both for law student advocates and students enrolled in traditional evidence courses, this handbook provides full coverage of courtroom evidence procedures, rules, and law. It contains the Federal Rules of Evidence, including recent and pending amendments; offers rule-by-rule commentary, serving as a mini-treatise on federal rules; and covers objections and responses. It is indispensable for students participating in a mock trial, going to court as part of a clinical program, or trying to understand the law of evidence. It also helps students bridge the gap from understanding the law of evidence to understanding how to perform at trial.

Publisher's Description

Learning Evidence engages students by offering lucid explanations of each evidentiary rule and colorful courtroom examples that explore how each rule works in practice. The fifth edition has been fully updated to reflect the continued emergence of electronic media, heightened attention to issues of race and gender, and recent amendments to the Federal Rules of Evidence.

To deepen student learning, this edition comes with digital study aids, accessible at eproducts.westacademic.com. The study aids include hundreds of multiple choice, short answer, and essay questions; thirteen videos that review difficult subjects; and seven interactive simulations in which students take the role of a trial attorney or judge during a trial and then make or rule on objections in real time.
