Description

Federal and California Evidence Rules: 2026-2027 Edition Thomas J. Leach ISBN 9798894111230

Federal and California Evidence Rules is an indispensable resource for in-depth study and precise comparison of the Federal Rules of Evidence and the California Evidence Code. Designed to support rigorous analysis, this volume is especially valuable for preparing for the California Bar Examination, which tests both federal and state evidence law.

Three-Part Structure for Effective Analysis

Part I presents the restyled Federal Rules of Evidence—effective December 1, 2011—side by side with the corresponding provisions of the California Evidence Code, enabling direct and efficient comparison. Author commentary highlights and explains key distinctions between the two bodies of law, sharpening analytical skills and aiding issue-spotting.

Part II provides comprehensive coverage of the Federal Rules of Evidence, including the full text of the rules, legislative history, amendments, and case notes addressing leading decisions. For deeper understanding, both the restyled rules and the prior versions are included, allowing readers to track changes and interpretive developments.

Part III focuses on the California Evidence Code, offering the complete statutory text with amendments, legislative history, and summaries of significant judicial interpretations.

Rental Terms

Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.

Late Fees: Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
Damage Fees: Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
Return Shipping: Returning your book is free: print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page, whether you send it back early or on the semester deadline. Cancelling a shipped rental for a refund is different: there, the return label cost comes out of your refund.
30-Day Cancellation: Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
