Evidence in Contextis
the perfect book for transforming abstract knowledge of rules of
evidence into a hands-on familiarity with how those rules work.
Utilizing two fictional case files, Evidence in Context
presents users with items similar to the material trial lawyers may
have as they approach trial—documents, photos, web pages, text messages,
and more.
Both cases present engaging fact
patterns as they introduce lawyers to the rigors of evidence rules. Both
raise realistic and challenging issues in the law of evidence and allow
for a critical assessment of that law. They are followed by over three
hundred problems for class analysis and discussion. These problems
address the full range of evidentiary issues.
New to the Sixth Edition:
- MacIntyre case file updated to reflect modern working situation
