The Federal Rules of Evidence - Part 3

1993 Federal Judicial Center gov.ntis.ava19481vnb2.3 1722-V/93 Federal Judicial Center - The program is a part of a video orientation series for district judges in the federal courts. Newly appointed district judges attend a week-long video orientation seminar at which they view programs on different aspects of their new duties, ranging from civil and criminal pretrial and trial procedures to the nuts and bolts of utilizing support staff. In this part of the series, Judge James H. Hancock of the Northern District of Alabama updates his classic 1982 program on the federal rules of evidence. He discusses everything from judicial notice to relevance, hearsay and authentication. The main point of his message; the rules of evidence are common sense rules embodying principles the judges already know or will easily understand once they review them. The update concentrates on rules 404b (other crimes - evidence), 609 (use of prior convictions on cross-examination), and 701-706 (use of expert witnesses).

Thank you Judge Hancock. Your presentation of the FRE was superb. I learned so much. I've been studying the FRE for over 10 years. But for your presentation, fully grasping them in their entirety would have remained illusive and difficult for me. I sincerely appreciate you.

Your Honor,
What Judge is trying to make things as salacious as possible? I have never been to Alabama.

Judge Hancock...won't you be my neighbor? This was so helpful.

The statement of Driver A that he did'nt see the traffic light would not come in because it is an exception to the hearsay rule; it would come in because it is definitionally non-hearsay under 801(d)(2)(A).

What is the relevance of this line of questioning, Your Honor? I have not experienced that. No Officer asked me what happened in a car accident.

Skid marks, Your Honor?

Your Honor,
What happens when you are accused of spreading diseases, when you're not? Like COVID-19, HIV or AIDS even when the evidence was submitted?
