Description

Understanding Federal and California Evidence Paul C. Giannelli ISBN 9780769853918

The California Edition builds upon the latest version of the well-established treatise Understanding Evidence by examining California’s distinctive approach to evidence law. Each chapter begins with an explanation of the federal doctrine and then contrasts it with California law. The appendices include the California Evidence Code, making the book particularly useful for law students studying civil procedure in California. Its coverage of recent developments also makes it a valuable reference for practicing attorneys.

This Understanding treatise presents the core principles of evidence law in a clear and concise manner. Although written primarily for students enrolled in Evidence and Trial Practice courses, the “Key Points” summaries at the end of each chapter and the inclusion of the current Federal Rules of Evidence in an appendix make it an efficient and practical resource for busy practitioners as well.

Understanding Evidence opens with an overview of evidence law and an explanation of the respective roles of judges and juries. Subsequent chapters address the following topics:

  • Procedural framework of trial

  • Relevancy

  • Witnesses

  • Real and demonstrative evidence

  • Writings

  • Hearsay

  • Privileges

  • Substitutes for evidence

Throughout the text, the treatise thoroughly discusses and cites the Federal Rules of Evidence, along with relevant cases, statutes, procedural rules, and secondary sources. Together, these materials provide readers with a comprehensive and reliable foundation for understanding evidence law at both the federal and state levels.
