Examples & Explanations for Evidence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798894109718)

Examples & Explanations: Evidence stands out as one of the clearest, most effective, and most concise introductions to evidence law available to students today. Beautifully structured and filled with compelling examples and thoughtful questions, this study aid delivers just the right amount of detail to support a student's first encounter with the subject. Returning author Arthur Best, whose extensive teaching and writing in evidence and related fields have made him a trusted voice in legal education, brings this revised edition, now aided by a new author, administrative law judge Eli K. Best.

New to the 15th Edition:

• Continues the book's long tradition of providing prompt treatment of amendments to the Federal Rules of Evidence
• Provides new discussion of Rule 801(d)(1)(A) covering the anticipated December 2026 amendment that simplifies admission of witnesses' prior inconsistent statements for the truth of what they assert
• Updates examples reflecting abandonment of the former requirement that witnesses' prior inconsistent statements would be admissible for their truth only if made under penalty of perjury in a formal proceeding
• Includes contributions from new co-author Eli K. Best, administrative law judge
