NO CLE - Federal Evidence Part I

Contrary to urban legend, the Federal Rules of Evidence do apply in bankruptcy court. In this two-part session taught by U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert E. Larsen there will be everything a practitioner needs to know about trying a federal case. If you took Evidence 101 in law school and have even a vague recollection of basic relevance and a primitive understanding of hearsay, you will discover that there are only five types of witnesses and five kinds of exhibits, learn the evidentiary foundation and disclosure requirement for each, and leave the sessions equipped to try virtually any federal case - civil or criminal, bench or jury.
