Product Description
Irish Law Based on the 6th edition of Professor Imwinkelried's authoritative American text, "Evidentiary Foundations", and amended for the Irish market, this title is a practical guide which explains how the various evidentiary doctrines are applied on a daily basis in the Irish courts. Combining discussion of law and practice, the authors outline a step-by-step approach to laying the necessary foundations for the introduction of items of evidence. Using hypothetical examples, the title illustrates how the substantive rules of evidence convert into concrete lines of questioning in the courtroom. This is the first book of its kind on the Irish market and will provide invaluable practical guidance for practitioners and students of the law of evidence.

A trial necessity August 14, 2000
M. Treiber (Ketchikan, AK USA)
17 out of 17 found this review helpful
I've been a criminal defense attorney in Alaska for many years, working in areas where I had no one else to talk over my cases with and where the law library consisted of just the state statutes and the Pacific Reporters. The lists of foundational requirements set out in this book have helped me plan direct and cross examinations for trials, and have helped me innumerable times sound intelligent and in control when making objections or in meeting objections. The examples are very helpful. The book is good for law students; it's wonderful for practicing attorneys.
An excellent how-to-book on laying the proper foundations September 7, 1997
19 out of 20 found this review helpful
This book is a must for any law student who desires to learn the proper method for laying evidentiary foundations in a court of law. The book contains numerous examples of proper methods of how to enter various evidence items. The book also covers all of the important evidence rules and explains them in a logical useful manner. Highly recommended--I have seen quite a few trial lawyers referring to this book in actual practice
Before Every Trial... December 19, 2002
jay kenyon (LAS VEGAS, NV USA)
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
Before and during every trial, I refer to this book. It lays out the elements necessary to lay a foundation of mostly any type of evidence and lays out the questions necessary to establish that foundation. It serves as a terrific checklist, not only to learn the rules in law school, but to use them in the courtroom. An absolute must have.
I also recommend Thomas Mauet's Fundamentals of Trial Techniques.
It is lacking in the foundation for more current evidence -- e.g., emails, web pages, etc.
A must-have July 18, 2008
N. Perz (St. Louis)
This was a wonderful purchase. The information was very accessable and to-the-point. A good nuts-and-bolts resource for common evidentiary issues. A handy tool for busy attorneys. I wish I would have bought this the day I was given my law license.
Highly recommended.
Great for practicing attorneys August 31, 2009
William Van Dusen (Portland, Oregon)
This publication is a perfect addition to any practicing attorney's library on how to properly establish a foundation for the major evidentiary processes. It is a must for the courtroom lawyer.
