Evidence in Context

A Trial Evidence Workbook

By: Robert P. Burns,Steven Lubet,Richard E. Moberly,James H. Seckinger

Evidence in Context is the perfect book for transforming abstract knowledge of rules of evidence into a hands-on familiarity with how those rules work. Utilizing two fictional case files, Evidence in Context presents users with items similar to the material trial lawyers may have as they approach trial--documents, photos, web pages, text messages, and more. Both cases present engaging fact patterns as they introduce lawyers to the rigors of evidence rules. Both raise realistic and challenging issues in the law of evidence and allow for a critical assessment of that law. They are followed by over three hundred problems for class analysis and discussion. These problems address the full range of evidentiary issues. New to the Sixth Edition: MacIntyre case file updated to reflect modern working situation Text message evidence Web page evidence Updated problems that address these newer forms of evidence Professors and students will benefit from: The inclusion of both a criminal and a civil case file, providing opportunities for students to work as prosecutors, defense counsel, and plaintiff's counsel Engaging fact patterns and evidentiary items More than 300 problems that guide students through multiple evidence scenarios

Cranbrooke V. Intellex

Defendant's Materials

By: Robert P. Burns,Steven Lubet,Terre Rushton,John T. Baker,James H. Seckinger

Intellex, an ambitious US video game company, comes into conflict with Cranbrooke, a traditional manufacturer of children's games for the European market. Their dispute? The terms of a contract for Cranbrooke to license and manufacture Intellex's newest virtual reality system. Cranbrooke claims that the new system is an improvement over the original system and therefore covered by the terms of the contract and that it has the exclusive right to distribute Intellex's virtual reality products in the European Union for at least five years. Intellex counters that the new system is no more an "improvement" than compact discs were merely an improvement on phonograph records and that Cranbrooke's contract only provided a first right of refusal on innovative new products. At stake are distribution rights for the improved system throughout the European Union. The fourth edition of Cranbrooke is a substantial update over previous versions. The Cranbrooke offices have been moved to fictional Brittania to avoid any Brexit conflicts. Exhibits have been updated to reflect modern business practices, including text messaging. Expert witness reports have been updated to reflect more realistic pricing. And the game system in dispute has been modernized. This international contract case file provides the flexibility that you've been looking for. It comes in formats that can be used as a fact investigation file, a deposition file, or trial file on liability or damages or both. The Trial file contains all witness depositions and documents. The Deposition versions reflect the reality of deposition practice, when each party only has certain documents: the Plaintiff file contains materials only available to the plaintiff side to aid in prepping for depositions; the Defendant file contains materials only available to defendants; the Faculty file contains both the plaintiff and defendant material and is for instructor use. The plaintiff and defendant each have three witnesses, including accounting experts for each side.

State v. Diamond, State v. Doyle

Case File

By: James H. Seckinger

Two persons—one man and one woman—are in an enclosed space and cannot be viewed below their shoulders; shots ring out; one person dies at the scene, the other person is charged with homicide. This case is designed to be tried twice: (1) once with the woman deceased—the man survives and is charged with homicide; (2) once with the man deceased—the woman survives and is charged with homicide. Mr. Diamond and Ms. Doyle had been in a relationship and living together for two months immediately prior to the shooting. Ms. Doyle was a waitress at the Truck Stop Cafe, and Mr. Diamond was a police officer and had just resigned from the Nita City Police Department. Mr. Diamond went to the Truck Stop Cafe to meet Ms. Doyle when she got off work at 6:00 a.m. He entered the cafe and sat in a booth. Ms. Doyle was sitting in a booth at the other side of the cafe talking with other waitresses. She did not speak to Mr. Diamond, and then at 6:30 a.m., Ms. Doyle got up and went to the entranceway of the cafe. Mr. Diamond followed her and they talked for a few minutes before two shots were fired. Was it murder, or an accident? This case file presents the same exact facts for both trials, with one exception: the gender of the defendant and the victim. Optimal use of this file is to try once as State v. Diamond and once as State v. Doyle. There are four witnesses for the State and three for the Defense. Exhibits include witness statements, police reports, medical reports, and gun diagrams.
