Publisher's Synopsis
<p> Well-known and experienced authors, highly respected in the clinical field, Thomas A. Mauet and Warren D. Wolfson provide a complete review of the effective use of evidence in a trial setting. They have structured their analysis around the way judges and trial lawyers think about evidentiary rules, with particular focus on the Federal Rules of Evidence. Numerous examples show how evidentiary issues actually arise, both before and during trial. A logical organization follows the sequence of a trial: opening statement, direct examination, cross examination, and closing arguments. “Law and Practice” sections throughout the book are based on actual federal and state cases and bring “real life” to the law of evidence. The accessible style of Trial Evidence always focuses on practice over theory. An accompanying CD-ROM offers students additional practice with more than 300 problems. </p> <p> Completely revised, the <b>Fifth Edition</b> now incorporates all Supreme Court cases that affect the Rules. </p> <p> <b>Features: </b> </p> <ul> <li> Respected and experienced authors—<b>leading names in the field</b> </li> <li> <b>Complete review</b> of effective use of evidence<b> in a trial setting </b> </li> <li> <b>Analytical structure</b> <ul> <li> mirrors the way <b>judges and trial lawyers think</b> about evidentiary rules </li> <li> particular emphasis on <b>Federal Rules of Evidence</b> </li> </ul> </li> <li> <b>Numerous</b> examples <ul> <li> evidentiary issues in real life </li> <li> both before and during trial </li> </ul> </li> <li> <b>“Law and Practice” </b>sections throughout <ul> <li> based on actual federal and state cases </li> <li> “real life” practice in the law of evidence </li> </ul> </li> <li> Logical organization follows the <b>sequence of a trial</b> <ul> <li> opening statement </li> <li> direct examination </li> <li> cross examination </li> <li> closing arguments </li> </ul> </li> <li> Accessible style<b> focused on practice over theory</b> </li> <li> <b>Problems</b> on CD-ROM <ul> <li> more than 300 problems </li> <li> additional practice for students </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p> <b>Thoroughly updated, the revised Fifth Edition presents:</b> </p> <ul> <li> All <b>Supreme Court cases </b>that affect the Rules </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
