Tuesday audio. You hopefully now have a sense of how the problems will go and how you should prepare.
No class next week or on Monday, September 2 (Labor Day); our next meeting will be Tuesday, September 3.
We continue with Introduction to Relevancy; prepare the remaining problems in this section. What does it mean to say "every fact has two faces" and how does that affect evidentiary strategy? Begin reviewing the MacIntrye case file, ready to identify the basic issues, claims, and defenses at issue.
Then move to Character Evidence and Bad Acts. For next class, prep FRE 105, 404(a), and FRE 405, problems 15-17, 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?
