Federal Trial Evidence

by Charles M. Grant & Kim Zeldin

Easy-to-Find Courtroom Evidence Answers

Evidence problems can weaken even the strongest trial presentation.

Federal Trial Evidence can help. Designed for use both in trial preparation and at the counsel table, this trial handbook’s unique format will help you handle objections confidently and successfully. The book features an easy-to-use format designed so that you can immediately find any rule, citation, and simplified restatement by simply flipping the quick-reference tabs to the section you need. No time is wasted—just turn to the section you need and find:
