Description
This Third Edition of A Short & Happy Guide to Evidence makes a difficult subject approachable without sacrificing substance. Written in a clear, conversational style, the book uses practical examples, humor, flowcharts, graphics, and concise explanations to guide readers through the Federal Rules of Evidence and show how the rules work together. It is designed to help students understand evidence not only for the classroom, but also for exams, the bar exam, and trial practice.
New to this edition are QR-code videos throughout the book that provide brief, targeted explanations of particular rules, along with the visual features readers have come to rely on, including flowcharts and text boxes such as “Common Sense,” “What Does This Mean?,” “I’m Confused,” and “Reality Check.” The Third Edition also incorporates current developments in evidence law, including recent rule updates. Whether the reader struggles with relevance, character evidence, documentary evidence, privileges, or finally wants to understand hearsay, this guide breaks the material into manageable pieces that are easier to learn, remember, and apply.
