The Family Law Trial Evidence Handbook: Rules and Procedures for Effective Advocacy

Being a trial lawyer requires a working knowledge of the rules of evidence. Based upon the author’s years of family law practice, this practical handbook is useful for all family law trial lawyers, regardless of whether they practice in a state that uses a variation on the Federal Rules or a common law body of rules on evidence. Topics range from hearsay, authentication of writings, and examination of witnesses to tendering exhibits, procedures for streamlining admission of evidence, and requests to admit facts and genuineness of documents.
