Designed specifically for courtroom use, North Carolina Evidence Courtroom Manual provides fast, authoritative answers to questions arising throughout trials and hearings. Through comprehensive analysis of the North Carolina Rules of Evidence rule by rule, the publication provides a quick overview of the rule under discussion, authoritative guidance in interpreting the rule, and pointers for applying the rule in actual practice. Each Rule contains a combination of several trial-focused features, methodically arranged and easily searchable, including:

  • Analysis - the author's analysis provides a quick overview of the Rule under discussion, authoritative guidance in interpreting the Rule, and pointers for applying the Rule in actual practice. In many chapters, the Analysis contains special features such as Illustrations, Constitutional Considerations, and Current Trends and New Developments.
  • Comparison to Federal Rule - the substance of each Rule is compared to the applicable Federal Rule of Evidence.
  • Commentary by drafters – includes official commentary by the study committees and legislative committees that drafted the North Carolina Rules;
  • Authority - additional authorities are cited after each chapter's Analysis, giving the user a starting point for additional research;
  • Cases - recent significant cases are summarized at the end of each chapter providing support for arguments and decisions required during the course of proceedings;
  • Appendix of some common evidentiary objections, laid out by rule; and
