Product Description

This essential manual guides you through the foundations for admitting evidence, and privileges, disqualifications, exclusions and limitations that prevent evidence from coming in at trial. It covers a variety of topics related to witnesses, including the principles of witness corroboration, competency, impeachment and rehabilitation, along with foundations for identification and reputation. Look to the chapter on the hearsay rule and its exceptions to gain a comprehensive understanding as to how hearsay evidence is treated under Connecticut's rules. Each chapter contains a clear statement of evidentiary foundations and sample dialogues.

  Dear Subscriber:
  
  Thank you for keeping your Connecticut evidence library current with this second edition of A Practical Guide to Evidence in Connecticut. Inside, you will find new material including the following:
  - Computer-generated evidence. In chapter 10, the author provides a discussion of evidentiary tests and burdens with regard to the admissibility of computer-generated evidence. The chapter lists several factors necessary to authenticate such evidence. It also recounts eight areas where reliability issues are likely to arise.
  - Sample examinations. Throughout the revised edition, examples of direct and cross-examinations have been updated, to illustrate a variety of evidentiary topics relevant to trials.
  - Updated case law. Our authors have reviewed their chapters for new case law and developments pertaining to the admission and exclusion of evidence at trial.
  We at MCLE | New England trust that you will find the updated material useful in your practice and valuable in your civil litigation law library.
  
  Cordially,
