Product Description
This innovative text responds to critiques like the Carnegie Report by giving professors the materials they need to move beyond the case method in upperlevel courses. Instead of edited appellate opinions, this uncasebook gives students focused discussion of the rules, colorful examples based on real cases, excerpts of trial transcripts, and concise analyses. Students report reading the text enthusiastically; they arrive in class ready to deepen their knowledge through practice-based problems, simulations, policy discussions, and other advanced material. A comprehensive teacher?s manual and instructor's website provide sets of these hands on materials for every class. A student-centered website allows students to test their understanding of each chapter. Learning Evidence teaches the Federal Rules of Evidence and introduces sophisticated professional analysis to the basic Evidence course. The book also provides an excellent companion for students using other Evidence texts, as well as those enrolled in clinics or trial practice courses.

Wow, great textbook January 28, 2009

I never thought I'd leave a review about a casebook or textbook (in fact, I don't think I've ever seen one), but this book is amazingly awesome! If you have the choice to take a professor who teaches from this book, take that professor!
This is not an ordinary casebook: there are very few cases, it reads like a supplement or workbook, and attempts to "teach the basic rules of evidence through textual discussion..." This book has a clear format and includes call-out boxes for Key Concepts, Summaries, Rules, and Cases. The pages are also bright white on strong paper (which I prefer) and has a clean design and font.
Great text September 12, 2009

Really good book; much easier read than most law school casebooks, gets right to the point instead of vague questions!

This was the fastest I'd ever received an order! The first few chapters were heavily highlighted, but, for the price, I was expecting much much worse. Great transaction!
