Synopsis

Ed Imwinkelried's Evidentiary Foundations has sold more than 125,000 copies in its publication life. This popular book covers all major evidentiary doctrines, providing for each doctrine:

a brief description of the pertinent Federal Rules of Evidence and the most recent leading cases construing the Rules

a list of foundational elements-the events and facts you need to lay a complete foundation

an illustrative foundation showing how each question relates to a particular element of the foundation

The revised Seventh Edition features an analysis of statutory developments, notably the 2006 amendments to Federal Rules 404, 608, 606, and 609. Other new material discusses the presentation of hard copy exhibits in court using document cameras and the presentation of digital exhibits using monitors or projection screens.
