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 the law of evidence in Kentucky.

The current edition of the Handbook provides complete coverage of all Kentucky decisions (Supreme Court and Court of Appeals) that construe or apply the Kentucky Rules of Evidence, and 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.

•  Impeachment of witnesses
•  Competency of witnesses
•  Witness testimony
•  Documentary, real, demonstrative, and opinion evidence
•  Hearsay
•  Authentication
•  Best Evidence Rule
•  Grounds for challenge
