A flexible, concise, and engaging casebook, Evidence: Cases, Commentary, and Problems focuses on core concepts and central controversies in evidence law, presented through tightly edited cases, stimulating commentary from a wide range of perspectives, and carefully crafted problems. The sixth edition, while as streamlined and teachable as its predecessors, includes excerpts from more than seventy new cases (including six from the United States Supreme Court), portions of close to thirty new articles by a diverse array of scholars, excerpts from new Advisory Committee notes, and half a dozen new problems. There are new materials on evidentiary issues in cases of sexual assault and abuse, along with new cases and commentary addressing, for example, the use of rap lyrics as evidence, the challenge of “deep fakes,” the evidentiary uses of artificial intelligence, issues of race and gender in character evidence and impeachment, and other key topics. The casebook is well known for its teacher’s manual, which offers clear problem answers and concrete guidance for the classroom.
New to the 6th Edition:
● New materials on evidentiary issues in cases of sexual assault and abuse, along with new cases and commentary addressing, for example, the use of rap lyrics as evidence, the challenge of “deep fakes,” the evidentiary uses of artificial intelligence, and other key topics

● Comprehensive coverage with a wide range of perspectives.
● Text written with clarity and concision, including well-selected and tightly edited cases.
