New Jersey Trial Evidence and Procedure provides a practical and comprehensive presentation of trial evidence as well as procedure, encompassing the rules and laws governing trial found in evidence rules, court rules, court decisions, and Model Civil Jury Charges. This volume provides important practice pointers and insights as to how evidence law plays out in the courtroom for the best chance of success.

The new edition includes important updates on the topics of offer of judgment, affidavit of merit, litigation privilege, expert testimony, peremptory challenges, res ipsa loquitor, Rule 104 hearings, lay expert testimony, hearsay exceptions, the best evidence rule, common law right of access, and judicial recusal. It also features a new chapter on the appellate standards governing review of a jury verdict and trial court decisions.

Many critical evidentiary rules are found only in the New Jersey decisional law—for example, the parol evidence rule, the net opinion rule affecting experts, spoliation of evidence, and the adverse inference charge relating to witnesses, which are identified and discussed in this book.
