Synopsis

This statutory and case supplement incorporates the latest changes to the Federal Rules of Evidence as well as a proposed revision to Rule 801(d)(1)(A) likely to become law in 2026. That amendment would allow admission for substantive purposes of any past inconsistent statement of a testifying witness.

Five changes took effect on December 1, 2024. The most significant of these added new Rule 107 governing courtroom use of illustrative aids. All these changes appear along with Advisory Committee’s Notes and explanatory editor’s notes.

The supplement also includes a side-by-side reprinting of the old (pre-2011), unrestyled Federal Rules of Evidence and the restyled rules to allow for ready comparison. Editor’s notes point out those areas where the restyling project, contrary to its authors’ claimed intentions, worked substantive changes to the rules.

A new case supplement offers extensive case notes summarizing the Supreme Court's 2023 ruling in Samia v. United States and edited excerpts with the editor's afterthoughts of the Court's 2024 rulings in Smith v. Arizona and Diaz v. United States.
