Product Description
Inspired by problems that spring from real life, Evidence presents the intricacies of evidence law in a way that law students will find both intellectually compelling and enjoyable. The author covers materials in detail, including relevance, reliability, and privileges. Whenever possible, problems are based on facts quoted from cases or news articles, complete with citations. This fact-based approach piques student interest, causing them to ask, How would a good lawyer attack this problem rather than What is the professor driving at. Written with the belief that students typically prefer to look at the courtroom world through the criminal law lense, the casebook emphasizes the criminal context, while using civil cases when illustrating rules that apply mainly in the civil context.

This is the best legal textbooks I've ever used. The writing is straightforward and clear, and the examples are interesting and well-written. Really a marvelous tool for teaching and learning evidence.

This is a fantastic textbook for teaching evidence. It is divided up very clearly and goes through the rules and doctrines one by one with cases that are on point and well edited. The font size is nice. The book also lays out charts and well-organized discussions to explain some of the more complex areas. And thankfully, it doesn't waste your time with philosophical discussions about the nature of truth/proof or a "more perfect law" that are of littleinterest to the student seeking to prepare for the exam. Nor does it have little notes directing you to hundreds of other cases that you will never read.
I highly recommend this book

This book is set up great. I like how there are cases, but no little like "notes" at the bottom of the pages. It explains the specific area of Evidence well in relation to the cases and gives good problems to work out so you can make sure you understand the topic. Great book!!
