Federal Rules of Evidence, 2011-2012 with Evidence Map

This pamphlet, which supports any classroom text, consists of the updated Federal Rules of Evidence and materials designed to aid in understanding, construing, and applying them. The Federal Rules of Evidence have been completely restyled, effective December 1, 2011, and the pamphlet provides a side-by-side comparison of before-and-after restyling of each Evidence Rule. It also contains relevant legislative history and Committee Notes, as well as the California Rules of Evidence. This edition of the pamphlet was prepared by Professor Daniel J. Capra, the Reporter to the Judicial Conference Advisory Committee on Evidence Rules. Professor Capra has included his own comments on many of the Restyled Rules--based on his role as Reporter to the Restyling Project--and also includes his article on case law that diverges from the text of the Evidence Rules.
