Evidence Law

LAW-40035

This course examines the principles that regulate the process of proving facts at trial. Until recent years, the regulating rules were found in the traditions of the common law. Many jurisdictions now codify the law of evidence, and consequently the course involves extensive work with a modern code known as the Federal Rules of Evidence; California Rules of Evidence will be reviewed as well. The course also examines the competency of witness and the process of testing witness credibility, taking up cross examination and the detailed and complex rules that permit and also restrict impeachment.
