Examples & Explanations for Evidence, Fourteenth Edition

Examples & Explanations: Evidence is the most clear, effective, and concise text available for students today. Beautifully organized, with compelling examples and questions, this ancillary delivers exactly the right level of detail for a student’s introduction to evidence law.

New to the 14th Edition:

Amendment allowing introduction of extrinsic evidence of a witness’s prior inconsistent statement only after the witness has had an opportunity to explain or deny it (Rule 613)
Amendment expanding the types of corroborating evidence that must be considered in applying the statement against penal interest hearsay exception (Rule 804(b)(3))
Changes to the opposing party’s statement provisions in Rule 801 for circumstances where a party’s claim derives from a declarant or a declarant’s principal
New Rule 107 and modification of Rule 1006 concerning illustrative aids

Key Features:

Structured chapters that present all the information a student needs to respond to the Example problems (the Explanations never introduce or rely on material that was absent from the chapter text)—making those problems a powerful reinforcement tool
A concise approach, with only 255 pages of text, giving ample coverage of the main topics in typical Evidence courses and giving appropriately briefer coverage of peripheral topics
A full presentation of the text of the Federal Rules, with “plain language” explanations, in a 59-page Appendix
