Foreword
This book is designed to be used by both practicing attorneys and law
students. With respect to attorneys, the book provides a ready reference for
the appropriate objection to proffered evidence and, when facing an objection,
the appropriate response in support of admissibility. The book’s chapters
group potential evidentiary objections by subject matter, making them easy to
locate. Each section within a chapter contains a definition of the evidentiary
matter, the forms of objection and response, a reprint of the controlling
rule, and a practice commentary discussing the most common issues that trial
attorneys confront. The book also delineates the evidentiary foundations
necessary to admit evidence. In short, this book first outlines the
appropriate way to offer evidence and oppose its offer during the pretrial
preparation stage and acts as a quick reference at trial.
For law students, this book can be used either as the text for an evidence
course or as a supplement to another text. This book not only provides
students with a real understanding of the concepts underlying the rules of
evidence, but also provides a model of good practice that enables them to
understand the rules in an advocacy setting. In this way, the student can see
how the rules of evidence apply in an advocacy setting. The book is also
designed to be used as a supplementary text in both trial advocacy and
clinical courses. By referring to this text, the student can readily solve
potential evidentiary problems and move on to the more difficult tactical and
advocacy issues presented by the case at hand.
This fifteenth edition incorporates all amendments current through December 1,
2023. We believe that this text can help lawyer and student alike in improving
the level of trial advocacy practice in our courts.
