  Dear Subscriber:

  MCLE | New England is pleased to present you with this revised edition of A Practical Guide to Evidence in New Hampshire. It is our pleasure to note that with this 2021 edition, the book's founding editor, Kenneth E. Rubenstein, Esq., has been joined by Nathan R. Fennessy, Esq. and Karen A Schlitzer, Esq., as well as Hon. Tina Nadeau, who provided judicial commentary. We welcome Mr. Fennessy, Ms. Schlitzer, and Judge Nadeau, as we thank Hon. Robert J. Lynn and E. Tupper Kinder, Esq. for their past work on the book.

  Please note highlights of the 2021 edition, including the following:

  • Witness impeachment. See chapter 8 for discussion of cases that address cross-examination directed at bias and the level of protection recognized by the court.

  • Syndrome evidence. See chapter 9 for added case law on limitation of syndrome evidence in the context of a case involving alleged domestic abuse.

  • Prior identification. Chapter 9 also adds discussion of a case involving the introduction of prior identification testimony in the context of a witness's memory loss, and whether prior identification statement falls within N.H. R. Evid. 801(d)(1)(C), when the eyewitness's memory loss was more acute than in Delgado.

  • Photographs at trial. In chapter 13, find three things the court must consider when photographs are being introduced at trial and read about counsel's obligation, under a 2017 case, to demonstrate unfair prejudice and an undue tendency to induce a decision against a defendant.

  WWe at MCLE trust that you will find this second edition of A Practical Guide to Evidence in New Hampshire to be a valuable addition to your collection. Thank you for your interest in MCLE | New England publications.

  Cordially,

  Maryanne G. Jensen, Esq., MCLE Director of Publications
