The Massachusetts Guide to Evidence "organizes and states the law of evidence applied in proceedings in the courts of the Commonwealth." The culmination of years of work on the part of the SJC's Advisory Committee on Massachusetts Evidence Law, the guide is required reading for lawyers who try or appeal cases in Massachusetts.

The 2010 edition of the guide, which is current through December 31, 2009, includes several new sections and addresses important recent developments in areas such as forensic evidence, attorney-client privilege and attorney work product doctrine, and applications of the first complaint doctrine.

The Massachusetts Guide to Evidence is an essential companion in court, in chambers, or back at the office.
