Enhance Courtroom Effectiveness by Focusing on Evidence Type, Not Legal Theory
Busy attorneys want fast answers and solid principles without having to wade through pages of dense legal discussion. Is It Admissible? simplifies the confusion by taking a practical approach to admitting or opposing evidence. The book is organized by type of evidence rather than legal theory, which allows you to easily find supporting law. The succinct principles provide thorough answers to many courtroom questions without being verbose.

Find Answers On the Fly With Practical Four-Part Organization
Unlike other texts where topics are scattered, Is It Admissible? is organized according to the way lawyers visualize the subject matter. The book divides evidence into four basic types – Testimonial, Documentary, Real, and Demonstrative. The division is logical and economical since each type has its own rules of admissibility and foundation requirements. With a custom-made table of contents and structure for each section, you'll never waste time locating the answers you need.

A-to-Z Index Covers Every Conceivable Type of Evidence
Is It Admissible? provides rapid access to information with its unique topical index. You’ll instantly find discussions of every conceivable type of evidence. For example, accident reports are discussed under “A,” DNA test results under “D,” scientific reports under “S,” and so forth. You’ll have all the ammunition needed to succeed at trial, arbitration or deposition.

One volume delivers fast answers and solid principles on how to propose and oppose virtually every form of evidence. Is It Admissible? divides the universe of evidence into four categories — testimonial, documentary, real and demonstrative — providing extreme detail, yet in a concise and organized manner. Get instant access to cases, statutes and checklists to help you lay solid foundations, make accurate objections, effectively examine witnesses and more.
