Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we have another episode in our “Listen and Learn” series. This time we’re focusing on relevance — a very commonly tested Evidence topic.
In this episode we discuss:
- The Federal Rules of Evidence
- Relevance and admissibility
- The two basic kinds of relevance
- Determining the evidence in question, the fact of consequence, probative value and prejudicial effect
- Analyzing two essay questions, from the July 2005 and July 2009 California bar exams
- Why you have to be as specific as possible when it comes to answering questions on relevance
- Remembering to use the word “because” when you write, which will force you to explain your reasoning
Thanks for listening!
