The Guide to the Law of Evidence in the District of Columbia is a condensed version of the two-volume The Law of Evidence in the District of Columbia treatise that has been a practice staple in Washington D.C. courts for nearly 50 years.
Designed as a quick-reference, in-court resource for D.C.’s bench, bar alike, and law students in clinical programs, The Guide to the Law of Evidence in the District of Columbia serves as an invaluable tool for analyzing threshold evidence issues during trial preparation, and for finding quick answers to evidence questions at trial. It is particularly useful to practitioners who appear in both the local and federal courts of the District of Columbia.
This guide sets forth each Federal Rule of Evidence (FRE), followed by a summary of how that FRE is generally applied in federal courts. The guide also concisely compares each FRE with D.C. local practices and provides abbreviated annotations of notable cases from D.C.’s local courts. And, as users of the parent treatise have long known, the guide reliably describes the evolving state of evidence law. In other words, the Treatise’s core standards remain foundational with the guide.
