Description

Developing Professional Skills: Evidence Ric Simmons ISBN 9781685615321

Using Developing Professional Skills: Evidence as a supplement to a traditional casebook makes it simple to incorporate hands-on skills training directly into the evidence classroom. The text is designed to bridge doctrine and practice, allowing students to apply the Rules of Evidence in realistic legal contexts while reinforcing core analytical concepts.

The book features nine carefully structured exercises that give students meaningful opportunities to develop essential lawyering skills, including legal writing, research, analysis, and strategic thinking. Each exercise demonstrates how evidentiary rules shape the day-to-day work of trial lawyers and encourages students to begin forming their professional identity as practicing attorneys.

Students complete focused, manageable assignments requiring approximately two to three hours each. These practical tasks include counseling a client, reviewing trial transcripts in preparation for an appeal, preparing for cross-examination, interviewing a complaining witness, drafting comments on proposed rule changes, and preparing an expert witness. Through these exercises, students gain practical experience while deepening their understanding of how evidence law operates in real-world litigation settings.
