Trial Practice: Exercises in Witness Examination and the Rules of Evidence is an innovative set of exercises tailored for modern Trial Advocacy courses. This latest edition introduces comprehensive coverage of electronic evidence, including social media posts, text messages, and digital documents, as well as contemporary issues related to the confrontation clause. These classroom simulations are meticulously crafted with a focus on the Rules of Evidence to enhance students' proficiency in witness examination, and the strategic handling of evidence objections and motions. Presented in an interactive workbook format, the text includes 35 dynamic civil and criminal trial simulations, designed to progressively improve trial skills throughout the semester. The engaging, hands-on approach immerses students in the material, equipping them with essential legal practice skills. The extensive Teacher’s Manual offers detailed guidance and resources, allowing for effective teaching with minimal preparatory effort from instructors. This makes these excellent materials for use by an adjunct professor, leaving them free to impart their practical experience and tactical suggestions to the students.
