Book Synopsis: Updated in Jan. 2023. Rules last amended in 2022 with changes to R 412(d)(2). The Tennessee Rules of Evidence Handbook with Common Objections & Evidentiary Foundations (6" x 9") was designed to be brought to court and be at your side in the office. The "added value" to this book is a 16-page section on making and responding to common objections (including a discussion of the 15 most common objections and a list of 60 common trial objections) and over 60 pages on evidentiary foundations and impeachment - including 25 examples of foundations for introducing physical, electronic, hearsay, and social media evidence, emails, text messages, a discussion on differing standards for authenticating digital evidence, and sample impeachment foundations. The most complete and least expensive such resource you can find anywhere.The author is a former Detroit criminal trial lawyer, a full-time law professor for 50 years - a professor at the William S. Richardson School of Law at the University of Hawaii for 45 years and 5 years at Wayne State Law School in Detroit. His students, under his supervision, at Wayne State and Hawaii have represented real clients in real cases every year he has been teaching. He has taught evidence since 1981 and has been the Director, and now Co-Director, of the Law School's Clinical Program since 1978. He has been a member of the Hawaii Supreme Court's Standing Committee on the Rules of Evidence since 1993. This handbook, and other similar handbooks, were inspired by handbooks he created in 2019 for a workshop for Pacific Island Judges from American Samoa, Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei, and Yap. He has published evidence handbooks similar to this one for all 50 states as well as 15 other jurisdictions from American Samoa to the U.S. Virgin Islands.
