Evidence Law Books

Since its first edition, Carlson on Evidence, has focused on a comprehensive, rule-by-rule, comparative examination of Georgia’s current Evidence Code, the Federal Rules of Evidence, and former Georgia Evidence Law. Updated annually, each new edition of Carlson on Evidence expands upon its unparalleled content with and expanded Georgia and federal evidence precedent and analysis.

In a published opinion, the Supreme Court of Georgia referenced the authors of Carlson on Evidence when it adverted to “leading commentators on the new [Georgia] evidence code.” To date, Carlson on Evidence has been cited authoritatively in Georgia’s appellate courts in over 75 separate published opinions. Practitioners in Georgia’s state and federal courts—and beyond—routinely rely on Carlson on Evidence, as have trial judges across Georgia for over a decade.
