Description

The Glannon Guide to Evidence provides a practical, and theoretically solid, aid to learning the Federal Rules of Evidence. Straightforward explanations of the Rules and illustrative examples in down to earth language provide a supplement to an Evidence class that will remove any confusion as to how the Rules should be interpreted. Based on decades of trying cases and classroom teaching, Prof. Avery is familiar with the most common mistakes lawyers and students make in applying the Rules and has designed these materials to highlight typical errors and correct them. Each multiple-choice question has tempting, but incorrect, answer choices, and then an explanation in simple and direct language that clarifies the rule. The student who works through these questions will be well prepared for Evidence exams and courtroom challenges.

New to the Third Edition:

  • Fifteen new multiple-choice questions have been added since the Second Edition.
  • All amendments to the Rules since the Second Edition have been taken into account, and the Rules are current as of the summer of 2022.

Professors and students will benefit from:

  • Realistic questions, many drawn from the author’s own courtroom experience
  • Classroom tested examples that have been refined over the years

About the authors
Michael Avery

After beginning as an ACLU staff lawyer during the Black Panther murder trial in New Haven in 1970, Michael Avery enjoyed a career over four decades as a civil rights and criminal defense lawyer. On the civil side, he represented the victims of police abuse and racial and sexual discrimination. In criminal cases, he defended people charged with everything from peaceful protesting to murder. In Boston in 2007, working with a team of lawyers, he obtained the largest judgment ever awarded against the FBI, $101.7 million, for the wrongful conviction of four innocent men for murder. His client, Peter Limone, had spent 33 years in prison for a murder of which he was innocent. The crime was actually committed by an FBI informant.     He has served as the President of the National Lawyers Guild and is one of the founders and a past president of the National Police Accountability Project. He enjoyed a sixteen-year career as a law professor at Suffolk Law School in Boston, where he is now professor emeritus. He has published several non-fiction books, including The Federalist Society: How Conservatives Took the Law Back from Liberals, We Dissent: Talking Back to the Rehnquist Court, Handbook of Massachusetts Evidence, and Police Misconduct: Law and Litigation. He has published three novels: The Cooperating Witness, Murder in Blue, and Mama’s Boy. He is a graduate of Yale College and Yale Law School and spent a year as an exchange student in the former Soviet Union at the University of Moscow. After retiring as a professor of law, he obtained a Master of Fine Arts from Bennington College. He resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
