Book excerpt: Teaching Evidence Law sets out the contemporary experiences of evidence teachers in a range of common law countries across four continents: Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. It addresses key themes and places these in the context of academic literature on the teaching of evidence, proof and fact-finding. This book focuses on the methods used to teach a mix of abstract and practical rules, as well as the underlying skills of fact-analysis, that students need to apply the law in practice, to research it in the future and to debate its appropriateness. The chapters describe innovative ways of overcoming the many challenges of this field, addressing the expanding fields of evidence law, how to reach and accommodate new audiences with an interest in evidence, and the tools devised to meet old and new pedagogical problems in this area. Part of Routledge’s series on Legal Pedagogy, this book will be of great interest to academics, post-graduate students, teachers and researchers of evidence law, as well as those with a wider interest in legal pedagogy or legal practice.

Download or read book Evidence written by Ronald L. Carlson and published by . This book was released on 2018-08 with total page 1006 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judge Calabresi has pointed out that this is the Age of Statutes, and some commentators have asserted that trial by jury is becoming trial by expert. Therefore, competent attorneys must be adept at working with scientific material and at interpreting statutes. The Eighth Edition of this casebook enables students to learn how to use materials generated by scientific researchers and to develop statutory interpretation skills. The authors emphasize scientific problems, with repeated references to Daubert and its progeny. Evidentiary doctrine coverage is reduced, to allow for deeper treatment of the science behind much of the evidence presented in modern trials. Throughout the text, the Eighth Edition stresses statutory construction skills, and at appropriate points it discusses the contrast between the textualist and legal process schools of legisprudence, all while bringing students up to date on significant recent developments such as the 2017 amendments to the Federal Rules of Evidence and the 2016 forensic science report of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
Download or read book Evidence written by David P. Leonard and published by Aspen Publishers. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence: A Structured Approach is designed to facilitate teaching and learning. Its unique organization complements the way most professors teach evidence law, with each section focused on one Federal Rule of Evidence. Questions are presented as a series of short, accessible hypotheticals and build upon one another to facilitate thorough student understanding of the rule at hand. Students know in advance what questions will be the focus of classroom discussion, providing a strong incentive to come to class prepared. The authors emphasize the written rules, rather than case law, as the primary source of evidence law today. Salient cases are skillfully edited to provide solid legal grounding in the topic, and author-written explanatory material and notes help bring the rules of evidence to life. The Third Edition welcomes new co-author Gary Williams, an expert in the rules of evidence. New Supreme Court cases, with questions for classroom discussion, and new FRE amendments are also included in this edition. The impact of new technology on evidence law issues is explored through cases and problems. Hallmark features: The structured approach complements the way that most professors teach evidence law: One Federal Rule of Evidence introduces each section, followed by text including numerous examples--explaining the background, rationale, and details of the rule. Questions for classroom discussion are presented as a series of short hypotheticals--each illustrating a single aspect of the rule and building on previous questions until the rule is fully explored--to facilitate learning and improve student preparation for class. Focus is on written rules, rather than cases, as the primary source of evidence law today. Skillfully edited versions of cases, including seminal cases that every literate lawyer should know. Includes hypothetical transcript exercises, charts, and diagrams . Hearsay chapter includes chains of inference (Statement Inference Conclusion) to illustrate hearsay and nonhearsay uses of statements. Streamlined, manageable length is appealing to professors and students. Students may download the questions from the authors' website for a head start on class notes. Also included on the website are additional questions and materials for students studying California law; password-protected questions, answers, and materials for professors ; and late-breaking evidence cases and FRE amendments.

Download or read book The Teaching of Criminal Law written by Kris Gledhill and published by Legal Pedagogy. This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Teaching of Criminal Law provides the first considered discussion of the pedagogy that should inform the teaching of criminal law. It originates from a survey of criminal law courses in different parts of the English-speaking world which showed significant similarity across countries and over time. It also showed that many aspects of substantive law are neglected. This prompted the question of whether any real consideration had been given to criminal law course design. This book seeks to provide a critical mass of thought on how to secure an understanding of substantive criminal law, by examining the course content that best illustrates the thought process of a criminal lawyer, by presenting innovative approaches for securing active learning by students, and by demonstrating how criminal law can secure other worthwhile graduate attributes by introducing wider contexts. This edited collection brings together contributions from academic teachers of criminal law from Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Ireland who have considered issues of course design and often implemented them. Together, they examine several innovative approaches to the teaching of criminal law that have been adopted in a number of law schools around the world, both in teaching methodology and substantive content. The authors offer numerous suggestions for the design of a criminal law course that will ensure students gain useful insights into criminal law and its role in society. This book helps fill the gap in research into criminal law pedagogy and demonstrates that there are alternative ways of delivering this core part of the law degree. As such, this book will be of key interest to researchers, academics and lecturers in the fields of criminal law, pedagogy and teaching methods.

Download or read book Evidence Teaching Materials for an Age of Science and Statutes with Federal Rules of Evidence Appendix written by Ronald Carlson and published by . This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This coursebook employs a state-of-the-art approach to the problem method of teaching Evidence. The beginning of the text sets out two case files, one civil and one criminal. All of the problems in the text are based on those files. The student does not waste time learning a new fact situation to analyze every problem, and the use of the case files throughout the course simulates the real world experience of gaining increasingly sophisticated insights into a fact pattern as the student works with the files for months. One emphasis of the text is statutory construction, since this is the Age of Statutes. Chapter Two includes an excerpt from an article by two leading legisprudence scholars, Professors Eskridge and Frickey, and introduces the ongoing debate over the proper approach to the construction of the Federal Rules of Evidence. In the following chapters, the coursebook repeatedly calls on the student to carefully parse text, consider context, and assess the weight of extrinsic legislative materials. As a takeaway from the course, the student should have an enhanced understanding of the importance of statutory construction and increased interpretive skill. A second emphasis is the use of empirical data to assess expert methodologies and the underlying psychological assumptions of evidentiary doctrines. One estimate is that today, in an average trial in a court of general jurisdiction, four experts take the witness stand. Chapter One includes an excerpt from the classic text, Inside the Jury, discussing the analysis of empirical data. Chapter Twelve includes a list of considerations that courts should weigh in evaluating a data set. As another takeaway from the course, the student should have a greater comfort level working with empirical data under Daubert and, more broadly, in using data to critique evidentiary doctrines.
Download or read book Innovations in Evidence and Proof written by Paul Roberts and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2007-11-14 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovations in Evidence and Proof brings together fifteen leading scholars and experienced law teachers based in Australia, Canada, Northern Ireland, Scotland, South Africa, the USA and England and Wales to explore and debate the latest developments in Evidence and Proof scholarship. The essays comprising this volume range expansively over questions of disciplinary taxonomy, pedagogical method and computer-assisted learning, doctrinal analysis, fact-finding, techniques of adjudication, the ethics of cross-examination, the implications of behavioural science research for legal procedure, human rights, comparative law and international criminal trials. Communicating the breadth, dynamism and intensity of contemporary theoretical innovation in their diversity of subject-matter and approach, the authors nonetheless remain united by a common purpose: to indicate how the best interdisciplinary theorising and research might be integrated directly into degree-level Evidence teaching. Innovations in Evidence and Proof is published at an exciting time of theoretical renewal and increasing empirical sophistication in legal evidence, proof and procedure scholarship. This groundbreaking collection will be essential reading for Evidence teachers, and will also engage the interest and imagination of scholars, researchers and students investigating issues of evidence and proof in any legal system, municipal, transnational or global.

Download or read book The Law of Teacher Evaluation written by Lawrence F. Rossow and published by Education Law Association. This book was released on 1992 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Litigation in the area of teacher evaluation has developed around issues concerning the processes and criteria used by school districts in conducting evaluations. Following an introduction explaining basic concepts, chapter 2 discusses the appropriate content of teacher evaluation, examining formal adoption of evaluation policies, compliance with state statutes and regulations, and content and constitutional requirements. Chapter 3 focuses on the use of commonly recognized statutory grounds for terminating teachers and the part these grounds play in evaluation. The procedural aspects of evaluation, such as the use of objective criteria and remediation, are described in chapter 4. The fifth chapter discusses the use of competency testing, issues of test validity, potential constitutional challenges, discrimination, and miscellaneous legal considerations. Issues in teacher evaluation and defamation claims are examined in the final section, presenting lines of defense available to administrators to protect against such claims. A conclusion points to the pervasive attitude of judicial deference to the decisions of educational policymakers. (317 footnotes) (LMI)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a resource for teachers interested in learning about the field of law and literature and shows how to bring its insights to bear in their classrooms, both in the liberal arts and in law schools. Essays in the first section, "Theory and History of the Movement," provide a retrospective of the field and look forward to new developments. The second section, "Model Courses," offers readers an array of possibilities for structuring courses that integrate legal issues with the study of literature, from The Canterbury Tales to current prison literature. In "Texts," the third section, guidance is provided for teaching not only written documents (novels, plays, trial reports) but also cultural objects: digital media, Native American ceremonies, documentary theater, hip-hop. The volume's forty-one contributors investigate what constitutes law and literature and how each informs the other.
