The hearsay rule is the most difficult part of every Evidence course and, for many, the most difficult rule of evidence to understand and apply in the practice of law. Fenner offers basic instruction on hearsay, his Top Ten ways of looking at hearsay, flow charts, and chapters on the generally known exceptions in the hearsay rule. Different from other works, The Hearsay Rule includes "secret" ways around the bar of the hearsay rule: using opinion evidence, the rule of completeness, and judicial notice, for example. It also includes a chapter on using hearsay to admit evidence from a witness who is incompetent to testify, one on the Confrontation Clause, and much more. The Hearsay Rule includes commentary that simplifies various ways the rules can be used to advance the student's or the advocate s goals and reveals many hearsay "secrets" not commonly addressed in other works.

As one of the top attorneys in Birmingham, Alabama, she has had to work her way up the ladder while balancing life, being a mother and managing her law firm. Her desire in life is to positively influence others that seek to do what she has already done.... beat the odds. In order for her to make the impact she seeks, she must first put all the hearsay to rest. It is time to LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD.

Hearsay celebrates a woman's life from childhood to middle age, including the often-ignored subject of work, with a voice that is sometimes tender, sometimes whimsical, but always strong. The winner of the 2003 Poets Out Loud Prize, this collection "proffers craft and vision; it begins, one might say, in delight and ends in wisdom" (Robert Wrigley, judge).To read a sample of her poetry, visit www.poetsoutloud.com.

The hearsay rule is for many the most difficult rule of evidence to understand and apply. This treatise on hearsay will be invaluable for students, practitioners, and judges — for anyone involved with the law of evidence. It explains the basic concept of hearsay, using both time-tested and innovative new methods. It then explains hearsay exclusions and exceptions, including important exceptions found outside of the Rules of Evidence — in the Federal Rules of Civil and Criminal Procedure, for example. For each exclusion and exception, the book begins with a foundational approach, presenting the foundational elements the law student must know, the lawyer wanting admission must show, and the lawyer trying to block admission must defeat. Extensive “Use Notes” explain each foundational element and how to make it work for you.The author discusses important topics such as: the use of judicial notice as a hearsay exception; admitting the hearsay statement of an incompetent witness; using opinion evidence — lay and expert — to get around the bar of the hearsay rule; the problem of multiple hearsay (and ways to make the problem go away); and the special problems of state of mind evidence. The treatise focuses on ways in which the hearsay rules can be manipulated to advance the advocate's goals and on how many of the exclusions and exceptions interrelate. The final chapter addresses the hearsay rule and the Confrontation Clause. Most of these are topics not commonly addressed in other works.Pre-publication versions of this treatise have been used with great success by students at Harvard, the University of Virginia, Tulane, and Creighton, among others. This book will benefit anyone involved in the trial process, whether as a student, a lawyer, or a judge.

One of the post-World War II founders of modern human biology and physical anthropology, Gabriel Lasker has a well-established place in the history of science. Lasker pioneered the concept of plasticity in human biology in an article published in Science in 1969. This notion of plasticity forced the scientific community to reexamine the genetically fixed racial types that scientists relied upon. More than a memoir, Happenings and Hearsay documents the rapid changes in the field of anthropology in the second half of the twentieth-century. Lasker takes the reader through decades of scientific research for a peek inside the lives of people that ultimately have defined what it means to be human.The late Gabriel W. Lasker was professor emeritus of anatomy at Wayne State University and founding editor of the Yearbook of Physical Anthropology and longtime editor of the journal Human Biology, now the official journal of the American Association of Anthropological Genetics.

Vietnam: How I got there, what I did there, and the price I paid for being there. Lt. John L. Wilton Every combat vet has a story. That story is true to him. However, it is almost assuredly made up of truth, imagination, hearsay, other people's stories and dreams both good and bad. Nevertheless, through the fog of war, they have become his story. These are my memories, take them as you see fit, I make no apologies or excuses for my conduct, or for that of my men. Believe what you want, dismiss what you choose. Blessing to those that served in Vietnam and to hell with those who spat on us and called us baby killers when we came home. JLW

It is widely recognized by New Testament scholars that many of the sayings and actions attributed to Jesus in the gospels cannot be factually traced to him. The gospels, written many decades after the death of Jesus, are composites of hearsay, legends, and theological interpolations, reflecting the hopes and beliefs of the early Christian community more than the actual teachings of the Galilean prophet.Despite these difficulties, Gerd Lüdemann shows in this fascinating analysis of early Christian documents that the tools of historical research can succeed in reaching at least a close approximation of some of the original words and deeds of Jesus. Unique in its comprehensiveness, Jesus After 2000 Years covers the canonical gospels, as well as the more recently discovered Gospel of Thomas and apocryphal Jesus traditions. Lüdemann concludes with a short life of Jesus in which he pieces together in narrative form what can be known about Jesus based on the historical evidence. Also included is an index of all authentic sayings and actions of Jesus. For all those with an interest in Christian origins, this volume is an invaluable resource.

Everyone knows that controversy creates news. Too often, controversies are borne unnecessarily. Like publicity stunts. Why? Because those involved don't have the facts. Their critique is based on hearsay and opinion. Unfortunately, this happens every day, through virtually every media outlet known. Nonetheless, Grand Illusions represents a controversy based on fact. Ironically all of the material in this book comes directly from Planned Parenthood - from their own files and records. Grand Illusions tells the whole story of this insidiously vile organization. The irrefutable, documented purpose for its funding, the testimony of young teenagers and clinic patients, and actual clinic visit records - complete with sobering statistics. In this revised and updated edition, historian and political theorist George Grant documents the sordid truths and fraudulent tactics of one of America's most "politically correct" institutions. Exhaustively researched and eminently readable, Grand Illusions is a vivid and revealing work of history that offers a disturbing perspective on one of the world's most troubling and dangerous organizations.
