This new supplement to Dynamics of Trial Practice: Problems and Materials, 3d, refines a number of the general concepts analyzed in the main text and covers significant recent developments, including: states permitting brief opening statements before jury voire dire; attorneys using computer programs to help them decide which panelists to strike during jury selection; the mechanics of introducing digitized exhibits at trial; and the controversy surrounding the increasingly widespread practice of allowing supplemental closing arguments when juries are deadlocked. As in prior supplements, the authors have created a new casefile to prevent the mix of cases from becoming stale.

Dynamics of Trial Practice: Problems and Materials, 3d, 2008 Supplement

This heavily discounted, three-hole punched, alternative loose-leaf version of the hardbound book is printed on 8 ½ x 11 inch paper with wider margins and with the same pagination as the hardbound book. Judge Calabresi has pointed out that this is the Age of Statutes, and some commentators have asserted that trial by jury is becoming trial by expert. Therefore, competent attorneys must be adept at working with scientific material and at interpreting statutes. The Seventh Edition of this casebook again enables students to learn how to use materials generated by scientific researchers and to develop statutory interpretation skills. The authors emphasize scientific problems, with repeated references to Daubert and its progeny. Evidentiary doctrine coverage is reduced, to allow for deeper treatment of the science behind much of the evidence presented in modern trials. This Seventh Edition, even more so than previous editions, uses scientific research to critique the underlying assumptions of Evidence Law. Throughout the text, the Seventh Edition stresses statutory construction skills, and at appropriate points it discusses the contrast between the textualist and legal process schools of legisprudence.

Evidence: Teaching Materials for an Age of Science and Statutes, (with Federal Rules of Evidence Appendix)

To date, this evidentiary title has been cited by the Supreme Court of Georgia and the Court of Appeals of Georgia in over 50 separate opinions. The Georgia Supreme Court referenced the authors of Carlson on Evidence when it adverted to “leading commentators on the new [Georgia] evidence code.” 
Since its first edition, Carlson on Evidence, has focused on a comprehensive, rule-by-rule, comparative examination of Georgia’s old evidence code, new 2013 evidence code and the federal counterpart. Each new edition expands upon its unparalleled content with a wide array of updated Georgia and federal evidence, authority and analysis. 
The accessible, user-friendly format allows readers to approach and consider the rules presented, both state and federal, and provides: • The rule or rules themselves • Primary authority • Summary of Georgia Code changes • Comparison with Federal Rules of Evidence • Key federal and relevant state authority and analysis • Georgia Law 
Topical coverage includes: • Relevant evidence • Privileges • Witnesses • Expert testimony • Hearsay • Authentication 
The appendix provides the text of the Georgia and Federal Rules of Evidence in their entirety, as well as testimonial evidence (“Crawford” and “Bruton” issues). 
When the courts have not had specific correlation of the Georgia Evidence Code to the Federal Rules of Evidence, they have turned to Carlson on Evidence as secondary authority to identify whether a rule closely follows the federal counterpart or if prior Georgia case law interpreting former code sections should apply. The scholarly opinion in Parker v. State observes that, unlike some other evidentiary code patterns, the 2013 Georgia statute contained commendable specifics respecting its application. The decision then adds this: “Leading commentators on the new Evidence Code agree with this conclusion and suggest why the Georgia provision differs from the federal model in this respect. Professors Ronald and Michael Carlson explain that the new Georgia Code was written to prevent courts from creating patchwork exceptions to the applicability of the rules of evidence, which had been a criticism of the old code.”
