For Monday

Tuesday audio. You hopefully now have a sense of how the problems will go and how you should prepare. Hopefully everyone will have books by Monday.

We continue with Introduction to Relevancy; prepare the remaining problems in this section and begin reviewing the MacIntrye case file, ready to identify the claims and defenses at issue. 

Then move to Character Evidence and Bad Acts; we will cover the first half of this section at the end of Monday and all of Tuesday. For next week, prep FRE 105, 404(a), and FRE 405; Problems 15-28; and C&S 69-89. Consider: What is character evidence and why do we not want it admitted in judicial proceedings? What character judgments do you make in life and why don't we allow similar judgments in judicial proceedings?
