Synopsis

The overarching objective of A Student’s Guide to Hearsay is to help students sort out the complexities of the hearsay rule, its exceptions, and the Sixth Amendment Confrontation Clause. For each exception, this book:


  •   Outlines the policies underlying the exception;

  •   Lists and explains the requirements that must be satisfied for evidence to be admitted under the exception;

  •   Explains additional issues that have arisen or are likely to arise;

  •   Explains how the rule interacts with other rules;

  •   Discusses tactical and procedural considerations that must be understood to appreciate how the rule “plays” in court; and

  •   Provides review questions and answers that allow students to test their understanding and applications of the rules.


    The book also includes humorous references addressing the hearsay significance of a ham sandwich, Humpty Dumpty, the Greek god of wine, Tim McGraw, dog saliva, Derek Jeter, a squeaky boot, Leonardo DiCaprio, the French Army, the speed of sound, Commander Data, and the Chicago Cubs.
