About the Book
Very clear organization and straightforward introductory material for each section and case make Evidence: Practice, Problems, and Rules an important new text in the field. A tested selection of interesting modern cases help students remember the rules, recognize difficult issues of application, examine the policy choices inherent in the rules, and build their case-reading and analytical skills. Concise notes, relatively few in number, maximize the likelihood that students will engage with them. Examples of provocative minority approaches frame the Federal Rules choices. Essay-style problems and multiple-choice questions are presented along with suggested analyses for both.
