Product description

The Law of Evidence in the District of Columbia (Treatise) has been a practice staple in D.C.’s local courts for nearly 50 years. Those local courts are the D.C. Superior Court and the D.C. Court of Appeals. The Treatise has been an invaluable tool for analyzing threshold evidentiary issues during trial preparation, and for finding quick answers to evidence questions at trial.
The Treatise is now expanding its coverage to include D.C.’s federal courts, specifically, the U.S. Court of Appeals for D.C. and the U.S. District Court for D.C. The reason is that D.C. practitioners appear in both D.C. court systems. They need to know the evidence rules applicable in those court systems. One resource that addresses/compares evidentiary practices in both forums serves that pragmatic practice need.
Given the wealth of evidence law emanating from the D.C. Circuit (most notably, from the District Court judges addressing cutting-edge evidence issues in real-time), the expansion will be done in stages. The 2024 Supplement covers the first stage, that is, D.C. Circuit cases relative to Rules 101 through 403, the latter being the most important Federal Rule.
This expanded coverage also includes an amplified approach for presenting the caselaw in both D.C. court systems. Each expanded rule now has an Editorial Commentary that briefly describes/compares D.C. federal and D.C. local practices. Each expanded rule has a Practice Pointer that recommends evidentiary steps to practitioners and alerts them to evidentiary practice pitfalls. Each expanded rule has numerous illustrating annotations. And every annotation has a short, descriptive heading so practitioners can quickly identify on-point authority. The expanded Treatise’s future stages will provide the same practice-oriented coverage for the remaining rules.
