The Rules will help you identify proper conduct in a variety of given situations, review those instances where discretionary action is possible, and define the nature of the relationship between you and your clients, colleagues and the courts.

Highlights of the 2024 Edition: ● Federal Rules of Evidence, as amended December 1, 2023 ● Advisory Committee Notes and Legislative History ● Trial preparation problems that present particular evidence issues in seven different practice settings; they call for the drafting of motions or memos that lawyers would typically prepare to deal with them in advance of trial ● Extensive in-trial problems that follow the transcript of a hypothetical trial, with evidence issues arising in a somewhat unpredictable order that reflects actual trial practice
