Examples and Explanations for Evidence, Thirteenth Edition

Examples & Explanations: Evidence is the most clear, effective, and concise text available for students today. Beautifully organized, with compelling examples and questions, this ancillary delivers exactly the right level of detail for a student’s introduction to evidence law.

New to the 13th Edition:

• Amended treatment of admissibility of completing statements, whether or not recorded (Rule 106).
• New provision allowing orders prohibiting excluded witnesses from accessing or receiving trial testimony (Rule 615).
• Amended provision for expert testimony, requiring the proponent to persuade the judge it is more likely than not that the expert’s opinion reflects a reliable application of appropriate principles and methods to the facts of the case (Rule 702).

Key Features:

• Structured chapters that present all the information a student needs to respond to the Example problems (the Explanations never rely on material that was absent from the chapter text)—making those problems a powerful reinforcement tool.
• A concise approach, with only 255 pages of text, giving ample coverage of the main topics in typical Evidence courses and giving appropriately briefer coverage of peripheral topics.
• A full presentation of the text of the Federal Rules, with “plain language” explanations, in a 56-page Appendix.
