LAW-629 : Evidence

Evidence is the study of what parties to a criminal prosecution or civil lawsuit may introduce at trial. During the course, you should develop greater understanding of litigation. When you receive a case (real or a fact pattern) you should now be able to spot the evidence issues, know what testimony and physical evidence the judge will admit, what the judge will exclude, and what issues require further research. You will know how to object and how to argue in favor and against admissibility. You should comprehend how the evidence presented connects to the lawyers’ final summations to a jury. The bar examination in every state contains multiple evidence questions, creating a direct link between your study habits in this course and your future ability to retain the substantive law necessary to pass the bar.
