LAW 613LEC - Evidence

This course will examine and analyze the Rules of Evidence (Federal and New York State) which determine what facts and exhibits juries and judges may consider in deciding the outcomes of criminal and civil cases. These are the “rules of the game” which trial lawyers must understand in order to know whether and when to object and how to respond effectively to objections raised by opposing counsel. Toward that end, we will dissect the rules in the context of relevant cases and factual scenarios with an eye toward achieving a practical, common sense understanding.
