For Tuesday

Monday audio.

I will circulate a seating chart tomorrow; please try to keep the room reasonably balanced. We will spend the first few minutes tomorrow on the Syllabus.

We move to Relevance: Introduction to Relevance, with special attention to FRE 401-403. What are the elements of relevancy and what do those terms mean? What does "more probable than without" mean and what does it not mean? What does FRE 403 require and how does it interact with FRE 401? What is the difference between asking about the "weight" of evidence and about the "admissiblity" (or "relevance") of evidence? Become familiar with Mitchell and prep Questions #3-6 (that is as far as we will get).
