Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Criminal Justice Act 2003 re-wrote the hearsay evidence rule for the purpose of criminal proceedings, enacting the recommendations of the Law Commission together with some proposals from the Auld Review. In 2008, Professor Spencer wrote a book explaining the new law, intended for practitioners as well as academics. Following the style of his earlier book about the new law on bad character evidence, the core of the hearsay book was a section-by-section commentary on the relevant provisions of the Act, discussing the case law that had interpreted them. Since the appearance of the first edition, the new law on hearsay evidence has been the subject of a spectacular exchange between the UK Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights, the effects of which the Court of Appeal has interpreted in several leading cases. In this new edition, the commentary is revised to take account of these developments. As in the first edition, the commentary is preceded by chapters on the history of the hearsay rule, and the requirements of Article 6(3)(d) of the European Convention on Human Rights. It is followed by an appendix containing the text of the statutory provisions and a selection of the leading cases.

Book excerpt: The hearsay rule is for many the most difficult rule of evidence to understand and apply. This treatise on hearsay will be invaluable for students, practitioners, and judges -- for anyone involved with the law of evidence. It explains the basic concept of hearsay, using both time-tested and innovative new methods. It then explains hearsay exclusions and exceptions, including important exceptions found outside of the Rules of Evidence -- in the Federal Rules of Civil and Criminal Procedure, for example. For each exclusion and exception, the book begins with a foundational approach, presenting the foundational elements the law student must know, the lawyer wanting admission must show, and the lawyer trying to block admission must defeat. Extensive "Use Notes" explain each foundational element and how to make it work for you. The author discusses important topics such as: the use of judicial notice as a hearsay exception; admitting the hearsay statement of an incompetent witness; using opinion evidence -- lay and expert -- to get around the bar of the hearsay rule; the problem of multiple hearsay (and ways to make the problem go away); and the special problems of state of mind evidence. The treatise focuses on ways in which the hearsay rules can be manipulated to advance the advocate's goals and on how many of the exclusions and exceptions interrelate. The final chapter addresses the hearsay rule and the Confrontation Clause. Most of these are topics not commonly addressed in other works. Pre-publication versions of this treatise have been used with great success by students at Harvard, the University of Virginia, Tulane, and Creighton, among others. This book will benefit anyone involved in the trial process, whether as a student, a lawyer, or a judge.

Book excerpt: "Professor G. Michael Fenner's book provides a clear, easy-to-follow discussion of the hearsay rule. This text should be used in every law school evidence classroom." -TRIAL Magazine, December 2003 Hearsay is the most difficult part of an Evidence course and, for many, the most difficult rule of evidence to understand and apply in the practice of law. This treatise on hearsay will be invaluable for students, practitioners, and judges -- anyone involved with the law of evidence. Chapter 1 explains the basic concept using both time-tested and brand-new ways of seeing and understanding the subject. Other chapters take a foundational approach to the exclusions and exceptions. One of these chapters includes important new ways to use the residual exception. Yet other chapters take a foundational approach to hearsay exceptions found outside of the rules of evidence, such as exceptions in the Federal Rules of Civil and Criminal Procedure. Fenner offers chapters on multiple levels of hearsay, on evidence that is inadmissible hearsay to one issue and admissible hearsay to another, on the interrelation between the hearsay rule and the competence of witnesses (including ways in which a lawyer with an incompetent witness might be able to use hearsay to get that witness's evidence before the trier of fact), and much more. The Hearsay Rule includes discussions of, and commentary on, ways in which the rules can be used to advance the student's or the advocate's goals and on the many ways various rules interrelate -- topics not commonly addressed in other works. No other treatise gives the student and the lawyer this kind of help with hearsay. "This treatise on hearsay will be invaluable for students, practitioners, judges, or anyone involved with the law of evidence." -McGill, Gotsdiner, Workman & Lepp, P.C., L.L.O. "In my experience, it is rare for a law school text to be equally valuable to practitioners and judges. The Hearsay Rule is one of these rare books. Used as a text at a number of law schools, it is organized to provide both a ready reference and an in-depth treatment of the hearsay rule." -Barbara Fritschel, Law Library Journal"Professor G. Michael Fenner's book provides a clear, easy-to-follow discussion of the hearsay rule. This text should be used in every law school evidence classroom. . . . The uniformity of his analysis helps the reader develop a construct to evaluate hearsay. . . This book would be a great addition to a new lawyer's collection, and it should be used widely in law schools since it so clearly sets forth the hearsay rule in its various permutations. More experienced lawyers who believe they know it when they se it would benefit from this helpfull refresher." --Trial (December 2003)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principles of Evidence in International Criminal Justice provides an overview of the procedure and practice concerning the admission and evaluation of evidence before the international criminal tribunals. The book is both descriptive and critical and its emphasis is on day-to-day practice, drawing on the experience of the Yugoslavia, Rwanda and Sierra Leone Tribunals. This book is an attempt to define and explain the core principles and rules that have developed at those ad hoc Tribunals; the rationale and origin of those rules; and to assess the suitability of those rules in the particular context of the International Criminal Court which is still at its early stages. The ICC differs in structure from the ad hoc Tribunals and approaches the legal issues it has to resolve differently from its predecessors. The ICC is however confronted with many of the same questions. The book examines the differences between the ad hoc Tribunals and the ICC and seeks to offer insights as to how and in which circumstances the principles established over years of practice at the ICTY, ICTR and SCSL may serve as guidance to the ICC practitioners of today and the future. The contributors represent a cross-section of the practicing international criminal bar, drawn from the ranks of the Bench, the Prosecution and the Defence and bringing with them different legal domestic cultures. Their mixed background underlines the recurring theme in this book which is the manner in which a legal culture has gradually taken shape in the international Tribunals, drawing on the various traditions and experiences of its participants.
