Kiya Ahmed had an affair with her married boss, Paul Buckner. After that relationship soured, Kiya was denied partnership at Cooper & Stewart, the accounting firm where she and Paul both worked. Kiya claims discrimination and retaliation caused the denial. The defendants say that her inconsistent job performance lead to their decision. Who is right? This well-balanced case file can be won by either party. Ahmed v. Buckner is the new incarnation of the popular case file Polisi v. Clark. The defendant business is now an accounting firm, rather than a law firm. Updated exhibits include computer records, text messages, and emails, allowing lawyers to practice their skills in laying foundations. The deposition file has three witnesses for each side. The trial version includes two additional expert witnesses and their reports. Whether they are law students or practiced lawyers, this engaging case file will hone participants’ advocacy skills.
In 1975, after three centuries of colonial rule, the people of the Northern Marianas exercised their right of self-determination to become U.S. citizens in a self-governing commonwealth under U.S. sovereignty. An Honorable Accord is the remarkable account of their tenacious efforts to shape a political future separate from other Micronesian peoples, of the negotiations that produced the Covenant defining the commonwealth relationship, and its eventual approval by the Northern Marianas people and the U.S. Congress.
Every trial attorney has a story about “the one that got away,” the objection they should have made. Trials have a lot of moving parts, and unless you are listening for the right words, objectionable questions, answers, or evidence can be admitted in a blink of the eye. Knowing the rules and the technical bases for objections is a start. What you need after that is to understand the words and phrases that trigger an instant analysis of whether a question is objectionable. Federal Rules of Evidence with Cues and Signals for Good Objections identifies the “cues” to listen for when your opponent asks a question or the witness gives an answer. These cues are words or phrases that tell you instantly when you likely have a good objection to oral testimony. When you know the cues, you can object rapidly and successfully. This guide also provides the “signals” that support a useful objection when your opponent tries to get an exhibit admitted in evidence. Has a foundation been laid for that letter? Is it objectionable “lay opinion” when the writer of a document gives his own view of why something happened? With this guide, you won’t have to guess. The fourth edition updates the rules through 2023. It provides quick access to the details on every objection recognized under federal rules and most state rules. It sorts high-payoff objections from those of lower priority for both oral testimony and exhibits. Everything you need on objections is in one compact volume. New to this Edition: Updated rules to December 2023 Analysis of the 2023 amendments to the Federal Rules of Evidence Professors and students will benefit from: Alphabetically tabbed pages to objection topics Full text of the Federal Rules of Evidence that includes the 2023 amendments
An apple a day certainly won’t keep the lawyers away. Produce broker Frisco Farm Corporation sold 25,000 pounds of apples to Blenheim Markets, with a contract clause stating that Blenheim could cancel the order within three business days. Blenheim tried to exercise that clause, but their email went astray. The apples were delivered, a thunderstorm destroyed most of the crop, and each of the parties believes the other is responsible for the loss. This short trial file revolves around two basic questions: what a contract is, and what constitutes a business day. The facts of the case are straightforward, and a variety of exhibits provide ample opportunity for evidence practice. The trial can be run in a single day, making this an attractive case for shorter programs. With four witnesses and a choice to try for either liability or damages, Frisco v. Blenheim is adaptable to your classroom needs.
