Trial Technique and Evidence: Trial Tactics and Sponsorship Strategies, Fourth Edition
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
