Ideal for those seeking quick reference and the convenience of digital accessibility. This is the digital download of the book. There is no physical book with this option.  

Judge Wofford-Kanwat wrote this brand-new guidebook to help lawyers and judges have a better understanding of South Carolina evidence law and how to apply the South Carolina Evidence rules to the specific facts of each case. This guidebook will also serve as a quick evidence resource for busy practitioners. The materials are presented in a very organized and thorough fashion with the use of charts for quick reading and review.

This spiral-bound and tabbed resource is divided into nine chapters addressing major evidence topics. Those evidence topics include pretrial negotiations and pleas, courtroom practice, motions, relevancy evaluation, foundation, hearsay, witnesses, and contemporary evidence topics. The ninth tab of this book is an amazing resource all by itself. It takes the entire contents of the book and presents the information in quick, easy-to-read charts. The charts found in the last tab include evidentiary motions, hearsay exemptions, a Crawford analysis chart, hearsay exceptions, an impeachment reference chart, character evidence chart, prior convictions analysis chart, character and prior bad acts reference chart, prior bad acts analysis chart, common evidentiary objections, and common objections from case law.
