Introduction

The primary text for the class is:

Trial evidence (3rd ed.) / Thomas A. Mauet, Warren D. Wolfson.
New York : Aspen Publishers, 2005.

"The book is principally footnoted to McCormick on Evidence, Weinstein's Federal Evidence, and Wigmore on Evidence, the three leading treatises on evidence, and to Evidence by Mueller and Kirkpatrick, which is quickly joining the others. The citations to these treatises will be much more useful than individual case citations in researching evidentiary issues that arise."

Those treatises principly footnoted by the text can be found in the library here:
