this guy should put most of the Bar prep courses' lecture professors and most of the law school professors to shame. I attended one law school only so I can't speak for other law school professors, but I don't think anyone can teach/explain law better than this guy.
I had a few professors who were actually good as teachers, but many were like you said: good at practicing law (or not), but terrible at teaching. I had one professor go over a MCQ midterm by saying, "Number 4: the answer is B. Why? Well its not C, its not A, and its not D. What do you want from me?" (In a heavy Brooklyn accent)
You're videos on Hearsay are great! I now have a better understanding. You made it very easy and simple to understand. I just wish I had found you sooner, my test in my Evidence class is tonight! Yikes!
Been studying hearsay using Law in a Flash and Exampro all day and this vid was a perfect way to end my night and put all the elements in context. THANK YOU!!

Thank you so much! you made the evidence so easy and simple to understand. It was confusing to me with the law lectures in commercial bar pre courses! Thanks a-lot!
Example that keeps coming up on exams seems to be, for medical diagnosis, " I was shot" vs "Richard shot me". Made (a) by declaring to ER doc, or (b) ER doc recalls the statement. Would be helpful to discuss that
Such a great video series! One question though: shouldn't "business" records be "public" records under the FRE? And "business" under, for example, the California Evidence Code?
Thank you! Here, when I say "Business Records" - I'm actually referring to "Records of a Regularly Conducted Activity " under FRE 803(6). Sorry for the confusion!
Hey I was wondering if you could help me out. I live in a place with no adversarial system we are making the change in some states and I am participating in a mock trial as the prosecution. we are accusing a man of murdering his lover for fear she would have told his wife about the affair. We have a witness that says the accused told him that his lover had made this threat. However, when I plan the direct examination of the witness I fear the defense might object to that statement. Since it revolves around the state of mind of the accused and possible plan to murder his lover, could this be considered and exception to 803?
Hi there! The statements made to the witness by the defendant would likely not be hearsay under FRE 801(d)(2). A "statement [that] is offered against an opposing party and . . . was made by the party in an individual or representative capacity" is not hearsay under FRE 801(d)(2). I.e., under the Federal Rules of Evidence, the prosecution can use the defendant's own out-of-court statements against him as evidence (e.g., confessions, etc.). Hope this helps!

Agreed!

You are excellent! Passing this along to my close study buddies! Thank you!
Thank you for the support! We really appreciate the sharing. 🙏
After listening to your hearsay videos, I believe my school should terminate their evidence teacher - really
I know 807 is extremely narrow, and rarely used, but is there an example where it would come up on an exam/mcq/or UBE?
Wow! Awesome! So clear!,’clap if you believe!
Example that keeps coming up on exams seems to be, for medical diagnosis, " I was shot" vs "Richard shot me". Made (a) by declaring to ER doc, or (b) ER doc recalls the statement. Would be helpful to discuss that
What is the answer to this question? I would think (a) falls under the exception and not (b).
Appreciate this sooo much!!
No problem, happy to help!
