Evidence cases and materials

Synopsis

The revised edition of this intellectually challenging casebook provides a complete overview of evidence, including key U.S. Supreme Court and other court opinions, updated information on scientific evidence, new questions and hypotheticals, and common courtroom objections. Case law coverage includes important Supreme Court opinions on the Confrontation Clause from Crawford v. Washington, a case that overturns decades of precedent, and from Lilly v. Virginia, the latest word on the Confrontation Clause. The casebook also includes an expanded section on scientific evidence and cases that apply Daubert, as well as new questions and hypotheticals for class discussion and an essay designed to familiarize students with common courtroom objections.
