Model Witness Examinations--written by two experienced, highly skilled litigators--gives you trial-proven sequences of questions that translate the Rules of Evidence into examinations that will correctly prove facts and are easily molded to your specific case. This edition includes new models and updated citations, providing litigators with a clear delineation of the law and issues and a clearly defined structure for proving facts, as well as sophisticated tactics and strategies. Each model starts with a description of a fact situation and is followed by the examination in Q and A format. Following each examination, the authors cite and explain the key cases, rules, and secondary authorities--citations that are readily accessible, even in midtrial—and provide tactical and strategic guidance. Models cover the following:

• Documents
• Best evidence or original document problems
• Demonstrative and real evidence
• Opinions of the lay witness
• Opinions of the expert
• Character, habit, and custom
• General interest
• Prior inconsistent statement; use of textbooks
• Redirect
• Depositions
• Interrogatories 

Model Witness Examinations is a hands-on guide and a powerful research tool...before and during trial.
