"This book provides a short, clear, and straightforward explanation of the Federal Rules of Evidence. The text illustrates the rules by analyzing multiple-choice questions-practical problems like those you will encounter in practice and those that your professors use in drafting exams. Some of the questions are based on real issues that arose in the civil and criminal cases that I tried. More significantly, the con-textual approach in this book is based on my observations of the common mistakes people make about evidence law during four decades of trying cases and three decades of teach-ing evidence. The three most important areas in evidence law are: (1) the rule against hearsay (Chapter 8); (2) character evidence (Chapter 4); and (3) impeaching witnesses (Chapter 6). Most of the evidence problems you will encounter in practice fall into one of those three areas, as do most of the questions on the bar exam and, probably, most of the questions on your law school exam. To prepare you for those challenges, this book spends more time on those issues than on all other issues combined. That is not to say you should ig-nore the other issues. You will need to know all the rules at one time or another. The chapters of this book correspond to each of the ten substantive articles of the Federal Rules of Evidence"-- Provided by publisher.
