Volume One of Two Volume Set. McCormick on Evidence, 5th, is an analysis of the rules and theory of the law of evidence. It covers not only the Federal Rules of Evidence, but also state law in jurisdictions not following Federal Rules. Describes accepted practice and theory, identifies current issues, and reviews leading case law.
When there are specific questions of evidence for which a jurisdiction has no precedent, the book provides both general theories that may be argued to suggest the answer and varying views from other jurisdictions.
