Detailed explanations and hundreds of sample questions help practitioners prepare effective direct and cross-examinations, identify potential admissibility problems, and respond confidently to objections. Its comprehensive coverage includes witness competency, authentication, relevance, credibility and impeachment, privileges, lay and expert opinions, hearsay, suppression issues, and the Best Evidence Rule.
