Course Outline: This evidence course will begin with an outline and problems that will cover the basics of the entire course, in advance. The idea is to give the student a quick “knowledge transfusion” over a couple of classes that will avoid policy and concentrate on the black-letter evidence rules, with the purpose of providing an introduction, a preview, and an initial exposure that will reinforce the rest of the course. Then, we will cover the Federal Rules of Evidence, more or less in their numerical order, using the casebook. This part of the course will take roughly two hours and will conclude with a comparison of a few significant differences between the Federal Rules and the Texas Rules of Evidence. The final hour or so will consist of exercises in standard methods of offering various common kinds of evidence and simulations of evidence controversies.
