Supplements are issued twice each year, to ensure that the Manual remains up to date.

•  Comprehensive descriptions of salient cases decided since the Eleventh Edition.
•  A new subsection in Chapter 404, Character Evidence; Crimes or Other Acts, on the importance of a non-character issue being contested before uncharged misconduct can be admitted.
•  A new subsection in Chapter 606, Juror’s Competency as a Witness, on racial bias during deliberations.
•  A new subsection in Chapter 609, Impeachment by Evidence of a Criminal Conviction, on admitting only the fact of conviction, without telling the jury what the crime was.
