Written from an advocate’s perspective, this guide introduces how the courtroom operates and offers a glimpse into the environment that influences these rulings. Major cases and doctrines are discussed. Examples are given to develop a feel for the context in which a particular evidence problem might arise—and for the language lawyers and judges use to resolve it. Also explores the rationale and purpose behind each rule.

This book’s unique structured approach facilitates learning and incentivizes students to prepare for class. One Federal Rule of Evidence introduces each section, followed by text explaining the background, rationale, and details of the rule. The text includes numerous diagrams as visual aids to learning and short transcripts that illustrate how the rules are applied in the courtroom. The authors emphasize the rules over cases, but include a few edited versions of the seminal cases that every lawyer should know. The heart of the “structured approach” is the Questions for Classroom Discussion, which follow the narrative explanation for each rule. These questions consist of simple hypothetical cases allowing for a step-by-step analysis of each section of the pertinent rule. Because students know what questions the professor will ask in class, they quickly learn that preparation pays off. Evidence: A Structured Approach, Fifth Edition alsoallows students to download the questions directly for the book’s page on WKLegaledu.com into their notes before class, freeing students to spend more time thinking and less time typing. 
New to the Fifth Edition: New author Kevin Lapp brings a highly effective manner of communicating with students reminiscent of one of the original authors of this text, David Leonard. Extensive revisions to make the text more accessible to students and easier to teach from, and to reflect recent developments in the law: Shorter length (by more than 200 pages) avoids diversions and details better left to treatment in law reviews or advanced courses Exam Tip boxes at strategic points in each chapter help students understand how a given rule is typically tested Key Questions boxes at the beginning of each chapter (with concise answers in the appendix)assist the student in focusing on the heart of the material about to be covered More charts and diagrams to help students visualize complex concepts and the connections between rules 
Professors and student will benefit from: The structured approach—a series of short hypotheticals for class discussion—are provided for each rule. Each hypo in a series builds on the previous hypos until it is clear what the key parts of the rule mean and how those parts work together. Because students know in advance what questions will be the focus of class discussion, they have a strong incentive to come to class prepared. This approach is how most professors teach evidence law, even when they use a book that emphasizes cases—by presenting a series of hypos that build upon one another. The difference is that this book complements how most professors already teach the course.
