Publisher's Synopsis
Graham's Handbook of Illinois Evidence is a comprehensive and practical guide to the Illinois Rules of Evidence and related issues. Providing clear explanations of the settled law and expert advice on more complicated evidentiary problems, this one-volume compendium provides indepth coverage of everything litigators need for citing cases, justifying objections, planning litigation strategy, and analyzing or weighing evidence. The Handbook of Illinois Evidence, most cited by the Illinois bench and most relied on by the Illinois bar, is an invaluable aid in determining the admissibility of evidence in Illinois courts. The Edition in 2016 marked the conversion of the Handbook, first published in 1956, to an annual softcover format.
As of January 1, 2011, by order of the Illinois Supreme Court, the Illinois Rules of Evidence govern proceedings in the courts of Illinois except as otherwise provided in Ill.R.Evid. 1101. The Illinois Rules of Evidence, with Committee Comments, as amended effective September 17, 2019, are presented in full in an Appendix.
