Evidence
Evidence
Evidence prep turns on admissibility. Identify the purpose for which the evidence is offered, then test relevance, character limits, impeachment, hearsay, privileges, and constitutional constraints.
Core Buckets
- Relevance, Rule 403, character evidence, habit, subsequent remedial measures, settlements, and policy exclusions.
- Witness competency, impeachment, rehabilitation, opinion testimony, experts, authentication, and best evidence.
- Hearsay, exclusions, exceptions, confrontation, and privileges.
Practice Move
State the nonhearsay purpose or exception with precision. Vague labels lose time and invite wrong answer choices.
