Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence and Trial Advocacy are often taught as if in practice; the topics are not related. The original edition of this title pioneered the concept that instruction on trial technique and evidence rules in the same volume is an effective way to teach either an evidence or trial advocacy course. This combination provides students with the foundation for becoming skilled trial advocates within the boundaries of the rules of evidence. Trial Technique and Evidence explains the purpose and application of each evidence rule. The practical methods of presenting evidence are balanced against the requirements of the rules. Indeed, many evidence rules are "practice" rules, either not covered in the formal rules of evidence or not addressed in detail. The basis for introducing demonstrative exhibits, for example, is not included in the federal rules, and impeaching witnesses in trial requires knowledge of practical technique. Trial Technique and Evidence allows a professor to incorporate practical requirements with evidence theory. The text also includes practical steps for compliance with the rules, with examples to facilitate the student's understanding, and addresses recent developments such as: • Jury persuasion • Application of rules to electronic evidence • Trends in applying the Daubert factors for assessing expert testimony • Amendments to the Federal Rules of Evidence

Download or read book Practical Trial Handbook written by Mark Curry and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-04 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Practical Trial Handbook is a concise and practical treatise on the rules of evidence, trial procedures, and basic trial skills and strategies that every attorney must know in order to competently and effectively try any type of case in any jurisdiction. Referencing the Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE) and trial procedure, the handbook explains the fundamentals of a court or jury trial, from the motion in limine to the final argument and everything in between. Topics of discussion include pre-trial procedures, jury selection, witness testimony, opening statements, direct and cross-examination, witness impeachment and rehabilitation, foundational requirements for the admissibility of evidence, hearsay and other exclusionary rules, expert witnesses, trial objections, character evidence, and closing argument. Written by a retired trial court judge with 36 years of experience in the courtroom, the handbook also includes more than 150 "Trial Tips," practical real-world advice by the author on trying a case that cannot be learned in the classroom nor found in other trial treatises. They provide not only basic "how to" advice, but also give suggestions on trial tactics or strategies the author has found to be effective. These informal and wide-ranging "Trial Tips" are found throughout the handbook for nearly every stage of a trial and are what sets this handbook apart from the other trial guides. Regardless of the type of case or the jurisdiction, the same basic rules of evidence and trial procedure apply. Furthermore, in every trial an attorney must possess the requisite basic trial skills and knowledge to try the case, e.g., the ability to question witnesses, introduce evidence, or argue the merits. This handbook is designed to distill these fundamentals into one, concise, and easy to follow format. It is designed not only as a learning resource for law students and less experienced trial lawyers, but also as a refresher for the veterans. It is a handbook every attorney should have in his or her library for reference when preparing for the next trial or evidentiary hearing. This edition focuses on the Federal Rule of Evidence and basic trial procedure, making it applicable not only to Federal Court, but also to state court jurisdictions that follow the Federal Rules. There is also a companion edition, Practical Trial Handbook California, which references only the California Rules of Evidence and basic trial procedure. The Practical Trial Handbook California is also available on-line at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098JVZRSX?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Practical Trial Website For more information on both handbooks, including introductory comments by the author, chapter summaries, and sample "Trial Tips," visit the handbook website at: https://www.practicaltrialhandbook.com/
