How did you happen upon and learn it?
Imma add to this as they come up on a show I’m watching
I mean, as a lawyer I had to take the evidence class in law school. Now I use it almost in a daily basis
Great, please share one and maybe a scenario where you made it work for you :)
Nice try, law student. Take your own notes!
Not a law student, more an informal student of law lol. I am interested in law/politics on the side and want to see how people have encountered a niche topic of interest like just about every other of my posts haha
The business record exception to hearsay (ORS 40.460). I don’t generally use this rule, but when dealing with financial cases with a multitude of documents, it is very useful.
Learned about it at law school and work.
Rule 34 always cite your sources, if in doubt cite
803 the exception to the rule barring hearsay which swallows the rule nearly whole.
How did you come to learn this. What is an example of that playing out?
Honestly not sure when. It’s kinda an infamous one, it essentially says you can never introduce hearsay as evidence in a federal court because hearsay is unreliable… unless you fall into one of the 23 exceptions. Or you meet one of the two exceptions in FRE 807.
Tbf a lot make good sense and are just about government written records and making sure you don’t need to find some government official who retired 10 years ago.
What do you mean by a rule of evidence? Like something that makes evidence either admissible or inadmissible that people don’t take into consideration?
Yeppers
Does a whole list count?
No, i’m asking for people to share one that they personally learned and applied at some point in their life.
Its more digestable if people share individual anecdata
Evidence is not evidence when it is at all up for any questions/interpretation.
By watching the YSL trial, I learned that in Rico cases in the state of Georgia, hearsay can be introduced if it’s between unindicted co-conspirators.
Great answer :)
He who smelt it, dealt it.
