This text is an essential complement to Arthur Best’s casebook, Evidence: Practice, Problems, and Rules, Third Edition. The practice problems provide students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge of Evidence rules and doctrines in a variety of practice contexts.
Highlights of the 2024 Edition:
● Federal Rules of Evidence, as amended December 1, 2023
● Advisory Committee Notes and Legislative History
● Trial preparation problems that present particular evidence issues in seven different practice settings; they call for the drafting of motions or memos that lawyers would typically prepare to deal with them in advance of trial
● Extensive in-trial problems that follow the transcript of a hypothetical trial, with evidence issues arising in a somewhat unpredictable order that reflects actual trial practice
