Mueller, Kirkpatrick, and Richter's Black Letter Outline on Evidence, 6th

This outline examines and explains the Federal Rules of Evidence, which apply in federal courts and have been adopted (with some variation) in 45 of the 50 states. Included are citations and descriptions of authoritative cases commonly studied in Evidence courses across the country, and analyses of the most important issues of construction and application that have arisen in the decades since the Rules were enacted in 1975. The 6th edition also adds descriptions of recent and pending amendments to the Federal Rules, as well as discussions of recent Supreme Court authority. This Black Letter Outline is designed to help law students recognize, understand, and apply basic principles and issues covered in law school Evidence courses. It can be used as a study aid when preparing for classes and as a review of the subject when studying for examinations. This Black Letter Outline was prepared by professors actively teaching Evidence law who are also accomplished authorities and authors of major texts, treatises, and coursebooks on Evidence law in use throughout the country.
