Military Evidentiary Foundations

Irish Law Based on the 6th edition of Professor Imwinkelried's authoritative American text, Evidentiary Foundations, and amended for the Irish market, this title is a practical guide which explains how the various evidentiary doctrines are applied on a daily basis in the Irish courts. Combining discussion of law and practice, the authors outline a step-by-step approach to laying the necessary foundations for the introduction of items of evidence. Using hypothetical examples, the title illustrates how the substantive rules of evidence convert into concrete lines of questioning in the courtroom. This is the first book of its kind on the Irish market and will provide invaluable practical guidance for practitioners and students of the law of evidence.

Military Rules of Evidence Manual, Fourth Edition is the only publication of its kind available to both military & civilian attorneys that analyzes what the Rules say & mean to judges & counsel in the military justice system. It also serves as an authoritative case finder. Since the Rules became effective in 1980, this book has been cited hundreds of times by the military courts. This Fourth Edition provides notes to virtually every military case that has interpreted or applied the Rules.

Presenting or opposing evidence is at the heart of all trial work. While there can be no substitute for an attorney's familiarity with the Military Rules of Evidence, a compilation of sample foundational questions can aid the new trial lawyer in the presentation of his or her case. To that end, this publication has been prepared. It is hoped that it will simplify the task of the new Navy-Marine Corps trial attorney by giving concrete examples of predicate questions and other trial evolutions which may be adapted for use in typical court-martial cases. Contents: General Provisions; Judicial Notice; Exclusionary Rule and Related Matters; Privileges; Witnesses; Opinion and Expert Testimony; Hearsay; Authentication and Identification; and Contents of Writings, Recordings, and Photographs.

Description: The Military Rules of Evidence Handbook (6" x 9") was designed to be brought to court or be at your side in the office or classroom. It is a complete copy of the Military Rules of Evidence with amendments through December 2019, but without the Discussion notes after various rules which are unlikely to need to be consulted in the heat of trial. The "added value" of this handbook is the 15 plus pages on common trial objections and 60 plus pages of evidentiary foundations, including for impeachment. It also briefly describes the history of the Federal Rules of Evidence, which is the basis for the Military Rules. The foundations section includes more than 25 sample foundations for the most common foundation used in the courtroom or mock trials, including foundations electronic, digital evidence such as emails, text messages, and social media sites.
