My Professor wrote the book and it just hits every aspect of clear, concise, evidentiary arguing. Very organized, quick read with lots of examples and clear explanations which are easy to follow. It's an excellent buy.
I had this book for my evidence course. The text is really dense, and it can be difficult to get through. I found it hard to follow because it is set up from a trial advocacy perspective, whereas my course was more about learning the rules for an exam (not how to apply them in a trial setting). I thought some of the ideas were clear (like how to generally approach an evidence issue), but some case law would have been really helpful to flesh out some of the more difficult concepts.
I really like this book. It explains the FRE really well instead of just copying them in, and it provides useful examples to help you understand the rules.
This book is very well organized and every trial lawyer would benefit from some time spent with Mauet's books.
