Customer Reviews of Problems, Cases, and Materials on Evidence (Casebook)
Perhaps the least useful casebook on Evidence All law students know that casebooks vary in utility, both for students, and practioners. My Criminal Procedure casebook, for example, was perfectly organized, beautifully cross referenced, and still remains part of my bookshelf, even as a practicing lawyer.
Green and Nesson's casebook on Evidence is everything that a casebook should not be. First, there are extremely few cases. The authors instead give the students "exercises" or "problems" to solve. Such exercises might be useful with the most organized and detail-oriented of evidence professors, but alas, most law faculty are anything but (and I speak as one who attended a Top 5 law school). The end result is that one never discovers the "answer" to any of these exercises. And due to the lack of cases, one never finds out what various courts would consider the "answer" to be either.
Evidence is almost a purely rule-based field. And most state evidentiary rules are now modeled on the federal rules of evidence. My advice, if one's professor has decided to use this particular casebook, would be to examine the rules carefully, and to purchase an evidence hornbook as an accompaniment. Otherwise one will have no idea what to do when it actually comes time to take the exam, the bar, or litigate in a courtroom.
