The Elements of Evidence (American Casebook Series)

The book presents straightforward explanations and problems, many of them drawn from actual cases, designed to make assignments short and class preparation efficient for students and teachers. This edition presents the material on confrontation and hearsay in a manner different from other textbooks, emphasizing basic concepts and greatly reducing the time spent on a march through the hearsay exceptions. It also includes a chapter focusing on a topic made especially salient by recent developments, the treatment of observations by children.
