The Kentucky Evidence Law Handbook

The Kentucky Evidence Law Handbook delivers quick, accurate answers to evidence questions from the original principal author of the Kentucky Rules of Evidence themselves, Robert G. Lawson, providing step-by-step commentary on the law of evidence in Kentucky. While Prof. Richard Underwood has taken over the update duties, the treatise continues to deliver the same reliable information provided by the original author who helped compose and codify Kentucky’s Rules of Evidence. This Handbook continues to be regularly quoted and cited by the Kentucky courts in its decisions and referenced in shaping the state's law of evidence, in both civil and criminal cases.

The Kentucky Evidence Law Handbook delivers quick, accurate answers to evidence questions from the principal author of the Kentucky Rules of Evidence, Robert G. Lawson, providing step-by-step commentary on evidence and all applicable laws in Kentucky.

The current editions of the Handbook as now updated by Prof. Richard Underwood continues this informative tradition of highlighting Kentucky’s decisions (Supreme Court and Court of Appeals) that construe or apply the Kentucky Rules of Evidence, including comprehensive coverage of both pre-Rules decisions and federal cases that provide helpful guidance on using the Rules of Evidence or are likely to be influential with the Kentucky courts.


When the pace quickens in court and you need an answer fast, the index leads you directly to the topics that typically arise at trial and appeal, such as:
• Relevance
• Impeachment of witnesses
• Competency of witnesses
• Witness testimony
• Documentary, real, demonstrative, and opinion evidence
• Hearsay
• Authentication
• Best Evidence Rule
• Grounds for challenge
• The Collective Knowledge Rule
• Questioning expert witnesses
