Description
This book was tailor-built to help trial lawyers prepare for, make, and respond to evidentiary objections. It is designed to be used for quick reference on the go in the courtroom and to consult at length in your office.
The Rules of Evidence can be tricky in practice. There are numerous "cheat sheets" that print all the rules on one page, but don't provide any additional guidance and are in difficult-to-read fine print. On the other hand, there are treatises packed full of case law and helpful materials, but those are cumbersome to use. This book is meant to fill that gap and be the go-to practical resource for trial lawyers.
