Book excerpt: THIS CASEBOOK contains a selection of U. S. Court of Appeals decisions that analyze, interpret and discuss the rule against hearsay and its exceptions. The selection of decisions spans from 2013 to the date of publication.A proponent of hearsay evidence must establish five elements in order to satisfy Rule 807: "(1) circumstantial guarantees of trustworthiness; (2) materiality; (3) probative value; (4) the interests of justice; and (5) notice." United States v. Ochoa, 229 F.3d 631, 638 (7th Cir. 2000) (citing United States v. Hall, 165 F.3d 1095, 1110 (7th Cir. 1999)). US v. Moore, (7th Cir. 2016).Rule 807 provides that a hearsay statement is not excluded by the rule against hearsay, even if not covered by an exception in Rule 803 or 804, if the statement (1) has "equivalent circumstantial guarantees of trustworthiness" to statements admitted under the enumerated exceptions, (2) is offered as evidence of a material fact, (3) is more probative on the point offered than any other reasonably available evidence, and (4) will best serve the general purposes of the rules of evidence and the interests of justice. We have said that this exception to the rule against hearsay "was necessary to permit courts to admit evidence in exceptional circumstances where the evidence was necessary, highly probative, and carried a guarantee of trustworthiness equivalent to or superior to that which underlies the other recognized exceptions." United States v. Renville, 779 F.2d 430, 439 (8th Cir. 1985). US v. Stoney End of Horn, (8th Cir. 2016). * * *"[P]rior inconsistent statements by a witness are not hearsay and are competent as substantive evidence if the declarant testifies at trial and is subject to cross-examination concerning the statement, and the prior inconsistent statement was given under oath at a 'trial, hearing, or other proceeding.'" United States v. Wilson, 806 F.2d 171, 175-76 (8th Cir. 1986) (quoting Fed. R. Evid. 801(d)(1)(A)). "The district court has considerable discretion in determining whether prior statements are inconsistent with trial testimony." United States v. Matlock, 109 F.3d 1313, 1319 (8th Cir. 1997) (citing United States v. Russell, 712 F.2d 1256, 1258 (8th Cir. 1983) (per curiam); United States v. Thompson, 708 F.2d 1294, 1302 (8th Cir. 1983) ("The district court should have considerable discretion to determine whether evasive answers are inconsistent with statements previously given." (citation omitted))). US v. Dean, (8th Cir. 2016). * * *Federal Rule of Evidence 801 provides that a statement offered against a party is not hearsay if the statement was "made by the party's coconspirator during and in furtherance of the conspiracy." Fed. R. Evid. 801(d)(2)(E). Statements can further the conspiracy in a number of ways. "Some examples include comments designed to assist in recruiting potential members, to inform other members about the progress of the conspiracy, to control damage to or detection of the conspiracy, to hide the criminal objectives of the conspiracy, or to instill confidence and prevent the desertion of other members." Johnson, 200 F.3d at 533. A coconspirator's statement may satisfy the "in furtherance" requirement even if the statement was not "exclusively, or even primarily, made to further the conspiracy." United States v. Cruz-Rea, 626 F.3d 929, 937 (7th Cir. 2010). US v. Elder, (7th Cir. 2016).

Download or read book Evidence written by David P. Leonard and published by Aspen Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 810 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book’s unique structured approach facilitates learning and incentivizes students to prepare for class. One Federal Rule of Evidence introduces each section, followed by text explaining the background, rationale, and details of the rule. The text includes numerous diagrams as visual aids to learning and short transcripts that illustrate how the rules are applied in the courtroom. The authors emphasize the rules over cases, but include a few edited versions of the seminal cases that every lawyer should know. The heart of the “structured approach” is the Questions for Classroom Discussion, which follow the narrative explanation for each rule. These questions consist of simple hypothetical cases allowing for a step-by-step analysis of each section of the pertinent rule. Because students know what questions the professor will ask in class, they quickly learn that preparation pays off. Evidence: A Structured Approach, Fifth Edition also allows students to download the questions directly for the book’s page on WKLegaledu.com into their notes before class, freeing students to spend more time thinking and less time typing. New to the Fifth Edition: New author Kevin Lapp brings a highly effective manner of communicating with students reminiscent of one of the original authors of this text, David Leonard. Extensive revisions to make the text more accessible to students and easier to teach from, and to reflect recent developments in the law: Shorter length (by more than 200 pages) avoids diversions and details better left to treatment in law reviews or advanced courses Exam Tip boxes at strategic points in each chapter help students understand how a given rule is typically tested Key Questions boxes at the beginning of each chapter (with concise answers in the appendix) assist the student in focusing on the heart of the material about to be covered More charts and diagrams to help students visualize complex concepts and the connections between rules Professors and student will benefit from: The structured approach—a series of short hypotheticals for class discussion—are provided for each rule. Each hypo in a series builds on the previous hypos until it is clear what the key parts of the rule mean and how those parts work together. Because students know in advance what questions will be the focus of class discussion, they have a strong incentive to come to class prepared. This approach is how most professors teach evidence law, even when they use a book that emphasizes cases—by presenting a series of hypos that build upon one another. The difference is that this book complements how most professors already teach the course. The Hearsay chapter—this difficult topic is taught through literally hundreds of examples. The narrative explanations are supported by visual depictions of key concepts. This includes diagrams that show students how to tell hearsay from non-hearsay by thinking about the logical steps that connect a statement to the fact it is offered to prove (Statement --> Inference --> Conclusion). Streamlined, manageable length—makes it easy for professors to cover and students to focus on the important material. The impact of new technology and recent rule amendments—explored through cases and problems.

Download or read book The Litigation Manual written by Priscilla Anne Schwab and published by American Bar Association. This book was released on 2007 with total page 1204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation is increasingly recognized as a vitally important social and economic phenomenon worthy of serious research study. Firms are concerned about their innovation ability, particularly relative to their competitors. Politicians care about innovation, too, because of its presumed social and economic impact. However, to recognize that innovation is desirable is not sufficient. What is required is systematic and reliable knowledge about how best to influence innovation and to exploit its effects to the full. Gaining such knowledge is the aim of the field of innovation studies, which is now at least half a century old. Hence, it is an opportune time to ask what has been achieved and what we still need to know more about. This is what this book sets out to explore. Written by a number of central contributors to the field, it critically examines the current state of the art and identifies issues that merit greater attention. The focus is mainly on how society can derive the greatest benefit from innovation and what needs to done to achieve this. However, to learn more about how society can benefit more from innovation, one also needs to understand innovation processes in firms and how these interact with broader social, institutional and political factors. Such issues are therefore also central to the discussion here.

Book excerpt: Well-known and experienced authors, highly respected in the clinical field, Thomas A. Mauet, Warren D. Wolfson, and Jason Kreag provide a complete review of the effective use of evidence in a trial setting. Trial Evidence, Eighth Edition is structured around the way judges and trial lawyers think about evidentiary rules, with particular focus on the Federal Rules of Evidence. Abundant real-life courtroom vignettes illustrate how evidentiary issues arise, both before and during a trial. Logical content organization follows the sequence of a trial: opening statement, direct examination, cross examination, and closing arguments. “Law and Practice” sections throughout the book are based on actual federal and state cases and bring decades of practical experience into the evidence classroom. The accessible style of Trial Evidence always focuses on practice over theory, on applying the statute rather than reading it. New to the Eighth Edition: Revised Rule 106 (Rule of Completeness) and the implication of hearsay objections Revised Rule 615, clarifying the judge’s authority to ensure witnesses do not have access to prior testimony and evidence before testifying Revised Rule 702, strengthening the judge’s gatekeeping role for expert testimony Revised Rule 807, clarifying the residual hearsay exception New problems exploring these revised rules and other contemporary evidence issues Professors and students will benefit from: Clear, objective, up-to-date explanations of evidence issues Content organization that flows logically through the stages of a trial Evidence law organized around the 3R’s approach: relevant, reliable, and right A companion piece including hundreds of problems based on real, cited cases and focused on important, current issues
