Evidence in Context

Evidence in Context: A Trial Evidence Workbook, 6th Edition, provides law students with structured practice in applying statutory rules of evidence to trial evidence practice. Authored by Robert P. Burns, Steven Lubet, and Richard E. Moberly, this 308-page print workbook from Aspen Publishing prepares readers for evidentiary problem analysis through active engagement with simulated litigation scenarios.

The volume organizes its teaching methodology around more than 300 problems created for class analysis and group discussion regarding diverse evidentiary scenarios. By completing these targeted exercises, law students evaluate procedural objections, witness questioning techniques, and evidentiary requirements within classroom settings designed to reflect actual courtroom challenges.

To ground statutory rules directly in practice, the workbook features two fictional case files, incorporating one criminal scenario alongside one civil dispute. This balanced instructional framework enables law professors and students to examine systematically how evidence rules operate across both civil and criminal litigation environments.
