Covering all major evidentiary doctrines, the text provides a blueprint for introduction of evidence at trial. It enables the student to convert a sentence in the Federal Rules of Evidence into a line of questioning to be used at trial. A useful companion to a coursebook in Evidence or Trial Practice, Evidentiary Foundations enables the student to picture the manner in which the rules of evidence operate. After a brief narrative discussion, the book dissects each major evidentiary doctrine into a list of foundational elements. The book then sets out an illustrative foundation, establishing all the predicate elements. This foundation gives the student a more concrete understanding of the evidence rule to which the foundation relates. The Seventh Edition not only updates the narrative discussion with recent citations; even more importantly, the new edition also includes an analysis of the processes of laying foundations and introducing evidence in courtrooms with modern computer technology.

A trial necessity,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Evidentiary Foundations, Fourth Edition, 1998 (Paperback)
I've been a criminal defense attorney in Alaska for many years, working in areas where I had no one else to talk over my cases with and where the law library consisted of just the state statutes and the Pacific Reporters. The lists of foundational requirements set out in this book have helped me plan direct and cross examinations for trials, and have helped me innumerable times sound intelligent and in control when making objections or in meeting objections. The examples are very helpful. The book is good for law students; it's wonderful for practicing attorneys.

An excellent how-to-book on laying the proper foundations,
By A Customer
This review is from: Evidentiary Foundations (Hardcover)
This book is a must for any law student who desires to learn the proper method for laying evidentiary foundations in a court of law. The book contains numerous examples of proper methods of how to enter various evidence items. The book also covers all of the important evidence rules and explains them in a logical useful manner. Highly recommended--I have seen quite a few trial lawyers referring to this book in actual practice

Before Every Trial...,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Evidentiary Foundations (Hardcover)
Before and during every trial, I refer to this book. It lays out the elements necessary to lay a foundation of mostly any type of evidence and lays out the questions necessary to establish that foundation. It serves as a terrific checklist, not only to learn the rules in law school, but to use them in the courtroom. An absolute must have.
I also recommend Thomas Mauet's Fundamentals of Trial Techniques. It is lacking in the foundation for more current evidence -- e.g., emails, web pages, etc.
