Synopsis

The #1 study guide for Evidence is now in its Seventh Edition. Examples & Explanations: Evidence is the go-to resource for any student struggling to understand the concepts and rules of evidence as described in their casebook. The Examples & Explanations pedagogy encourages students to read the text carefully, apply what they have learned, and test their understanding of the material.

A leader in its field, Examples & Explanations: Evidence features:

• clear and concise introductions to the concepts and Rules of Evidence
• examples with questions that start out simply and gradually build in complexity
• thorough explanations of how to analyze the questions in the examples
• a "plain language" version of the Federal Rules of Evidence, complete with new amendments to the Rules
• generous use of visual aids—tables and charts—that illustrate key concepts

Still fewer than 350 pages, the Seventh Edition includes:

• discussion of Giles v. California, concerning Hearsay and the Confrontation Clause
• analysis of newly-adopted Rule 502, regarding inadvertent waiver of the attorney-client privilege, with a plain-language explanation in the Appendix
• a flow chart that illustrates the proper sequence of analysis for relevance and hearsay exclusions & exceptions as applied to an out-of-court statement
• a new chart that illustrates character evidence with regard to the propensity inference

Examples & Explanations: Evidence, Seventh Edition, is a current and time-proven resource that you can recommend to your students with confidence.
