This document contains the Federal Rules of Evidence, as amended to December 1, 2015. The rules were enacted by Public Law 93 595 (approved January 2, 1975) and have been amended by Acts of Congress, and further amended by the United States Supreme Court. This document has been prepared by the Committee in response to the need for an official up-to-date document containing the latest amendments to the rules. These rules apply to proceedings in the United States courts. The specific courts and proceedings in which the rules apply, along with exceptions, are set out in Rule 1101. In general, the court must decide any preliminary question about whether a witness is qualified, a privilege exists, or evidence is admissible. Criminal attorneys, judges, legal assistants, paralegals, law enforcement, and students pursuing coursework in criminal justice and criminal law courses may be interested in this updated volume. All law, public, criminal justice and law enforcement libraries should have a copy of this volume on hand as a desk reference for quick research by their patrons and staff teams. This booklet may also appeal to law enforcement, district attorneys, civil and criminal case attorneys and prosecutors, court clerks, court judges, and others involved in the legal process and proceedings.Other related products:
