Evidence: The Objection Method

by Dennis D. Prater

This stimulating casebook presents the study of evidence in the context of the trial. A unique feature of this casebook is the wealth of problems based on transcripts. These simulation exercises allow students to master the rules of evidence as well as the art of objection and argument. Special attention is paid to the amendments to the Federal Rules of Evidence that went into effect on December 1, 2000 and those that went into effect on December 1, 2006. Professor Capra, the Reporter to the Judicial Conference Advisory Committee on Evidence Rules, was the principal author of those amendments and the accompanying Committee Notes . Where possible, the Reporter's perspective on the amendments has been emphasized. The important topics of expert testimony and privileges have been completely revised to take account of their increasing dominance in evidentiary development.
