Evidence by David P. Leonard,Victor J. Gold,Gary C. Williams,Kevin Lapp Pdf

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.

Character Witness by Christine Wood Pdf

If necessary, use words.When you think about evangelism, you probably think about what you need to say to an unbeliever. You imagine memorizing a five-point outline or a three-point plan. Christine Wood acknowledges that it is important to be able to express the truth of Christ. But in Character Witness she emphasizes that it is just as important to live a life that expresses who Christ is. St. Francis of Assisi put it this way: "Preach the gospel at all times; if necessary, use words."Character Witness is about personal integrity in evangelism. It will help you develop qualities like graciousness, purity, wisdom and patience. And it will show you how to extend yourself to others in ways that express the fullness of the grace of Christ.Wood's message is simple, but revolutionary: Your character is your most valuable evangelism resource.

Texas Rules of Evidence Trial Book - 2nd Edition by David A. Schlueter,Stephen A. Saltzburg Pdf

This work is written for lawyers and district judges who try cases in Texas courts. It is a trial book, designed to ease the task of dealing with evidence issues under the time constraints and pressures that trials, especially jury trials, place on all participants. The authors emphasize the proper techniques for presenting and objecting to evidence at trial. Common evidence issues are arranged by the order of the Texas Rules of Evidence. Lawyers in both civil and criminal trials should be able to turn quickly to the correct section of this book dealing with any evidence issue that arises during trial. They will find guidance as to who bears the burden of proof on the issue, what the judge’s role is, and what type of finding for the record they might request. Judges will find similar guidance and will also find proposed findings that can help them make a solid record, and limiting instructions that can enable them quickly and accurately to instruct a jury in most cases This book focuses on the mechanics of how lawyers and judges must deal with evidence issues as they arise at trial and is a highly practical work that is intended to be on counsel tables and judges’ benches during trials. • Governing Rules The discussion of each evidence issue begins with a section on “Governing Rules.” This section gathers the rules that interrelate in one place and highlights the portions of the rules that are most likely to be important. • Key Points The second section is entitled “Key Points.” This section identifies important aspects of the governing rules, offers strategic suggestions on how lawyers may best use the governing rules, and suggests points judges may want to emphasize. • Sample Objections The third section includes sample objections and guidance on making objections at trial. • Rulings on the Record, Offers of Proof, and Limiting Instructions The fourth section suggests language that judges may use in making rulings and instructing juries and also recommends that lawyers consider requesting certain rulings on the record. It also suggests how offers of proof might be made and limiting instructions for all of the issues discussed. • Rules of Evidence The Appendices include the full text of the Texas Rules of Evidence and several important provisions from the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure that are cited in the text.

California Evidence Code with Objections by Allen Snyder,Anthony J. Bocchino,David A. Sonenshein Pdf

Ah, the keen discomfort of being caught without a comeback. We’ve all been there—and experienced, too, the other side of it: coming up with the perfect retort hours after it doesn’t matter anymore. The French call it l’espirit de l’escalier—but here at NITA, we call it with California Evidence Code with Objections, Fifth Edition. When you’re in court, stakes are too high for you to fumble for words. California Evidence Code with Objections is there to help. Seasoned advocates Allen Snyder, David Sonenshein, and Anthony Bocchino break down, in alphabetical order, every topic of inadmissible evidence (such as Argumentative, Hearsay, Privileged, among many others) and offer the perfect objection, along with the response, cross-reference to the Code, and explanation to back it up. This pocket-sized book, reflecting changes through December 2019, lets you instantly consult the relevant California rule, find appropriate objections and responses during trial, and gain insight from practice tips and legal interpretations. So that when opposing counsel asks your witness, “Where were you the night of December 19, and what exactly were you doing?” you say, “Objection, Your Honor. Compound question.” Pick up California Evidence Code with Objections and never again be at a loss for words.
