Examine evidence from the most important point of view - the judge's - and upgrade your working knowledge and understanding of evidence with the most popular and published expert in this fast-changing field.
In this dynamic, practice-based program, Tom Mauet uses his vast experiences as a trial lawyer, law professor and judge to help you organize evidence in the way it should be - from the judge's perspective.
He examines potential problem areas - raising and making persuasive objections - and highlights his points with memorable flow charts and examples. This entertaining program focuses particularly on relevance and hearsay and is enhanced by a continuous visual presentation and a detailed evidence manual. You will find useful checklists for immediate implementation into your practice. Revisit the law of evidence in a way that will help you win the evidentiary wars before, during and after trial.
The program includes an analysis of FRE 502 and its impact on:
- subject matter waiver
- inadvertent waivers made during the discovery process, and
- the effect of federal court orders on other federal and state court proceedings.
